Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl and mix well with the chicken, ensuring each chicken piece is coated well. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour or up to a day.
- Thread a piece of chicken onto a skewer, followed by a chorizo slice, bell pepper and onion slice Repeat until you use up all the chicken.
- Heat oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, put in about 4 skewers depending on the size of your pan. Let the chicken cook on high flame for a minute on all sides to sear all the juices.
- After the pieces are seared, lower the heat to medium, and let the chicken cook on each side for about 10-15 minutes in total, until the chicken is cooked through. To check the chicken is cooked, slice opens the largest piece and make sure it’s no pink in the middle.
- Sprinkle with fresh coriander, then serve with salad.
Notes
- If you’re using the bamboo skewers, please soak them in water for at least 15 minutes.
- For alternative cooking methods, these chicken skewers can be grilled or baked in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for 15 - 20 minutes, until the edges of the chorizo are crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
- You can use skinless chicken thigh fillets instead of chicken breasts fillets for these skewers. I find chicken thighs juicer so this is my preference nowadays. Cook the chicken thigh fillets for about 20 to 30 minutes.
