2 tbsp sunflower oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp fajita spice
1 large clove garlic (peeled and minced)
3 tbsp finely chopped coriander ((cilantro))
1 red bell pepper (chopped into 2cm squares)
1 green bell pepper (chopped into 2cm squares)
1 yellow bell pepper, (chopped into 2cm squares)
1 large red onion (peeled and chopped into 2cm squares)
400 g tin chopped tomatoes
10 ripe cherry (grape) tomatoes
1 medium onion (peeled and roughly chopped)
large bunch coriander (roughly torn, stems removed)
1 or 2 red chillies - such as Fresno Serenade or Thai
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp light brown soft sugar
2 cloves garlic (peeled and roughly chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
¼ tsp white pepper
Boiled rice
Roughly chopped coriander ((cilantro))
Fresh lime slices

Steps:

Place the chicken in a bowl with 1 tbsp of the oil, salt, pepper, lime juice, honey, fajita spice, garlic and coriander. Mix together and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
Preheat the barbecue, or if cooking on a griddle pan, preheat it and brush with oil.
Thread pieces of the marinated chicken onto 8 skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes first, to prevent the sticks burning) along with the peppers and red onion.
Place the skewers on the barbecue (or griddle, or under the grill/broiler) and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every few minutes until lightly charred. Check that the chicken is cooked by cutting into a large piece and making sure it's no longer pink in the middle.
Whilst the chicken skewers are cooking, place all of the picante ingredients in a food processor. Blend until well combined, but still with a little bit of texture, then turn of the blender and transfer to a bowl.
Serve the skewers (two per person) on top of boiled rice that has been mixed with chopped coriander. Drizzle on some picante, and serving with lime slices and extra picante.

MEXICAN CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH SALSA

Mexican Chicken Skewers With Salsa image

I saw this recipe made on an IGA Supermarkets advertorial recently. I've made quite a few changes to the original recipe to make it quicker and easier and to suit my own tastes. Boy, does it pack a flavour punch! We're not huge chilli fans, but we didn't find the medium hot Taco Sauce too hot, but feel free to use mild if you want, or hot if you dare.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 skinless chicken thighs
1 large red capsicum, cut into 2cm squares (approx 1-inch)
1 (35 g) packet taco seasoning
4 tablespoons lime juice (bottled is fine)
4 tablespoons sour cream
2 avocados, cut into 1cm cubes (approx 1/2-inch)
2 small tomatoes, roughly diced
1 small red onion, roughly diced
1 (250 g) can corn kernels
1 bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped (reserve a few sprigs for garnish)
1 (200 g) jar taco sauce (medium hot)
salt
8 lettuce leaves or 1 bunch baby rocket

Steps:

Skewers:.
Cut chicken thighs into large (approx 5cm (2")) cubes.
Thread capsicum and chicken pieces alternately onto four bamboo skewers, i.e. capsicum/chicken/capsicum/chicken etc.
Sprinkle lime juice over the chicken skewers, then evenly sprinkle over the Taco Seasoning, making sure to coat all sides.
Cover and refrigerate while you make the salsa.
Salsa:.
In a medium sized bowl, combine avocado cubes, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, corn kernels and chopped coriander.
Pour over the jar of Taco Sauce and mix well to combine.
Season with salt to taste.
Cover and refrigerate while you cook the skewers.
Cook skewers on a barbecue (grill) or in a frypan (using a tablespoon or two of oil) over a medium heat until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes), turning constantly.
Reserve any left-over lime juice/seasoning on the plate.
Don't worry if chicken blackens a little, but if it appears to be burning, reduce heat to very low and continue cooking.
About half way through cooking, tip any leftover lime juice/seasoning that's left on the plate over the top of the skewers.
To serve, spoon salsa onto a bed of lettuce or rocket leaves.
Drizzle the skewers with sour cream and serve alongside the salsa.
Garnish with the reserved coriander.

Tips:

Use high-quality chicken. The type of chicken you use will greatly affect the flavor of your skewers. Look for chicken that is free-range and organic, and avoid chicken that has been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple olive oil, lemon juice, and herb marinade is always a good choice.
Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. You can cook the chicken on a grill, in a skillet, or in the oven.
Serve the chicken skewers with a variety of dipping sauces. Chirmol salsa is a great option, but you can also serve the skewers with tzatziki sauce, hummus, or your favorite barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With a variety of marinades and dipping sauces to choose from, there is a chicken skewer recipe for everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give chicken skewers a try!
