Notes
- Try chopping the chicken in to chunks and mixing with marinade. Then thread it on to skewers with vegetables and halloumi to put on the BBQ.
- You can make this in advance by mixing the chicken with the sauce and putting in the fridge until you are ready to cook.
- Add a bit of a smoky flavour by using some chipotle en adobe rather than minced fresh chilli. You could add some paprika too.
- You could finely chop some olives or capers to mix with the sauce.
