I love grilling! It is such an amazing way of cooking – fast, easy and full of flavours!
This recipe for chicken skewers is perfect for indoor and outdoor cooking. For those who don’t eat meat – it also works well with shrimps.
BTW, I found this recipe in my new cookbook (“The Complete Low-Fat Cookbook”), which I bought last week in a local charity shop for just ₤1! Those shops are worth checking – sometimes you can find there almost bright new cookbooks or incredible, out-of-print vintage ones. And the best thing about them is – they cost almost nothing!
Grilled chicken & vegetable skewers
Serves 3 
You will need:
2 chicken breasts, diced
12 cherry tomatoes
12 small cup mushrooms
1 yellow pepper
2 baby courgettes
2 garlic cloves
rind of 1 lemon, grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh or dry oregano
1/2 tsp finally grated rosemary (optional)
salt & pepper
8 – 10 wooden skewers
Preparation:
Soak wooden skewers in cold water to prevent burning. Combine all the ingredients together and season with sea salt and freshly grated pepper. Toss well. Marinate for 1 hour or longer. Thread a piece of chicken onto each skewer, followed by a tomato, pepper, mushroom and then courgette. Repeat till the end of the skewer. Place the skewers on a hot grill or grill pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked and the tomatoes shriveled slightly. Serve immediately with a green salad and roasted potato wedges.
