THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS



Thai Chicken Skewers image

A quick to prepare and extremely low-fat recipe from the 26 February 2007 issue of the Australian 'Woman's Day'. In Melbourne, we have many Thai restaurants and Thai recipes are featured regularly in our cooking magazines. NOT my sort of recipe: sounds way too hot for me, but I know that many others will love this! The preparation time below does not include the 15 minutes marinating time. I have suggested this recipe as also being suitable for picnics - where you'd take your marinated chicken in one container, and fresh salad greens in another container, and BBQ your chicken once you're at the picnic site.
