This week my search for simple summer suppers led me towards the joy of a Chicken Kebab. Whilst for many this may be synonymous with the late night\/ early morning sobering up meal, for me the Chicken Kebab is summer on a plate –\u00a0it’s like having a barbecue without having to have the weather or outside space for a barbecue. The crispy chicken, the rich and flavoursome sauces: a match made in tastebud heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many ways to serve a kebab and so many recipes to follow for sauces but I decided that as the brief was quick, delicious and simple that I would stick to the basics.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here is my Chicken Kebab and Three Veg Salsa with a fresh Chimichurri sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Chicken breasts\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

For Sauce<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic<\/span><\/p>\n

Large handful of fresh parsley<\/span><\/p>\n

1 red chilli deseeded and pithed ( unless you like it hot)<\/span><\/p>\n

1tsp oregano<\/span><\/p>\n

1tbsp Red Wine Vinegar<\/span><\/p>\n

Salt and Pepper to Taste<\/span><\/p>\n

For Salsa<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

1 tin of sweetcorn, or 2 corn on the cobs cooked and decobbed<\/span><\/p>\n

A handful of edamame beans<\/span><\/p>\n

4 tomatoes<\/span><\/p>\n

Method<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Firstly leave your kebab sticks to soak in water for about 30mins before you make the dish ( not 100% essential but it will stop the wood from burning)<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cut you chicken into cubes, push onto kebab sticks and place on hot griddle pan to cook, turning occasionally until golden on the outside<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. For the Sauce, place all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and blitz until combined<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. For Salsa, heat a small pan of boiling water, place uncooked edamame beans in and cook for 5 mins, remove from heat and drain. Then de-pod the edamame beans ( just as a note you could use broad beans, peas or any green veg you fancy here, I am just a little obsessed with edamame at the moment)<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Cut the tomatoes into chunks and mix with Edamame and Sweetcorn<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Then assemble your salsa, added your chicken kebab skewers\u00a0and finish off with some flavoursome and refreshing sauce\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The perfect mid week supper; a simple dish that makes you feel like you could be having a late evening barbecue and looks like a rainbow ( well almost \u2013 let’s just hope there’s a pot of gold lurking somewhere). What more could you want (other than the gold, obviously)?!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Happy Cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
