This is an elegant way to serve meat and vegetables from the grill. You can adjust the spice to suit your preference- most will probably like this spicier than I do! Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts |
1 large zucchini |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 skewers |
Directions:
1. Thinly slice the chicken lengthwise so you end up with thin strips, about an inch wide and 5 inches long, depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
2. If the slices are more than a quarter-inch thick, lay out a piece of clingfilm (saran wrap), lay the slices of chicken on top and cover with another piece of clingfilm. Bash with a rolling pin until each slice is a quarter-inch thick.
3. Place the chicken in a bowl with the spices, stir and cover. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.
4. Meanwhile, prepare and preheat the grill.
5. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into thin strips the length of the zucchini.
6. Thread alternate strips of chicken and zucchini onto the skewers in an S shape.
7. Drizzle with olive oil and grill for about 15 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked through.
