Skewered Chicken & Zucchini

Wooden skewers – soaked in cold water for 30 mins before assembling
750g / 1 1/2lb Chicken - Tenderloin chicken is the easiest as it is all ready to thread, or chicken thighs fillets (cut thighs into strips – about 6 from each thigh).


Citrus Chilli dressing/marinade
2 cloves crushed Garlic
2 tsp minced ginger
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
Juice of 1 lemon or lime with some zest
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp Coriander and mint, chopped  (or more)


Marinate for at least 1 hour in most of the dressing, keeping some to serve as a dipping sauce. Thread onto skewers. (Alternatively, brush skewers with marinade). Cook on BBQ for about 5-6 minutes or until cooked, turning frequently. Serve with dipping sauce.

Combine 4 tbsp olive oil with 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp rosemary leaves, with the zest from 1 lemon and brush half the mixture over the skewers. Drizzle with remaining marinade after BBQ ing for 5-6 minutes.
