Ingredients
For the skewers:
- 3 chicken thighs chopped into chunks
- 1 red onion cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper cut into large chunks
- 1 green bell pepper cut in to large chunks
For the marinade:
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic crushed, clove
- 1 lemon (juice and zest only)
- 0.5 teaspoon thyme dried
- 0.5 teaspoon basil dried
- 0.5 teaspoon oregano dried
- sea salt to season
- black pepper to season
Instructions
- Chop up 3 Chicken thighs.
- Put them into a large bowl with 2 tablespoon Olive oil, 3 Garlic clove, juice of 1 Lemon, 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil, 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano and Sea salt and ground black pepper. Mix well and put into the fridge overnight or at least for 2 hours.
- Add 1 Red onion, 1 Red bell pepper and 1 Green bell pepper and mix well.
- Thread onto skewers.
- Put under the grill (broiler) for about 20 minutes, turning regularly.
Notes
- If you are using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for 30 minutes before threading everything on to them. This will ensure that they don't burn when cooking.
- We used chicken thighs, because they are nice and juicy, however you could use chunks of chicken breast instead.
- Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the chunks of chicken you use.
- You can cook these on the grill, in the oven or on the BBQ.
- These are great cold the next day, so make extra and them pack them in packed lunches or for picnics.
- You could make a vegetarian version of these by swapping the chicken for chunks of halloumi.
