Chicken Kebabs

The barbeque has been sadly under-used this summer. I think every time it has been sunny I have been in hospital, or generally not feeling like eating. We therefore decided to ignore the slightly dodgy weather forecast for last night and light the barbeque. It turned out to be a good decision, as it was a lovely evening.

Chicken kebabs, potato salad and green salad, followed by brownies and strawberries - right up there with my favourite meals, and pretty low effort too.

Chicken Kebabs

This was a bit of an experiment, as I haven't made this marinade before. I will definitely be making it again though.

Serves 4

4 chicken breasts cut into fairly similar sized cubes
4 tbsp natural yoghurt
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
2 peppers, cut into squares

Put all of the ingredients apart from the chicken and peppers in a bowl and mix well. Then add the chicken and leave for at least an hour.

Put the chicken onto skewers, alternating with pieces of pepper (don't forget to soak the skewers if they are wooden).

Barbeque or grill, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked and the outsides are starting to char.

The chicken stayed lovely and tender, which we struggle with on the barbeque. Let's hope the weather holds long enough for this to be repeated!
