Method

These chicken and red onion skewers are marinated in olive oil, lemon juice and Cajun spices before being griddled until cooked and juicy. Serve with fluffy rice, peas, sweetcorn and some chilli sauce on the side.

  1. Cut the chicken into 24 pieces. In a bowl toss the chicken with the olive oil, Cajun seasoning and lemon juice.
  2. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes. If using wooden skewers put them in water to soak while the chicken marinates.
  3. Meanwhile cook the rice according to packet instructions, adding the peas and sweetcorn to the pan for the last minute of cooking. Drain and fluff with a fork.
  4. Thread 3 pieces of chicken onto each skewer alternating with chunks of red onion. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat and cook the kebabs for 8 – 10 minutes, turning frequently, or until the chicken is cooked through, with no pink showing. Serve with the rice.
