Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 600g chicken (boneless cut like breast), cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 lemons / 60ml lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 courgettes, thinly sliced
- 1 bag (120g) Pams Mesclun Salad
- 4 Pams Garlic Pita Bread
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the juice of one lemon (30ml), garlic, paprika, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, season the courgette and drizzle with oil, then toss to coat.
- Once the chicken has marinated, thread onto skewers with the courgette. Grill the skewers on a preheated bbq or grill pan over medium-high heat until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the courgette is tender.
- Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the salad leaves to dress. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and toss to coat, then toast the pita bread and cut into wedges.
- Serve the cooked skewers alongside the salad leaves and toasted pita.
Top Tip:
Add in some capsicum chunks or pieces of red onion with the courgette to make these skewers bright and colourful. Finish this dish with a dollop of cucumber yoghurt for a saucy accompaniment!
