Colourful marinated chicken kebabs
This colourful twist on the traditional greek delicacy should be a staple at any summer BBQ. Marinating the chicken pieces overnight allows for all of the delicious flavours to infuse, and it is best when combined with lots of colourful veggies to increase fibre and phytonutrient content! Serve with homemade flatbread and fresh tzatziki.
Servings: 6-8 people Time: 30 minutes + overnight

Method
- Cut the chicken breasts into generous bite-size pieces and add these to a large mixing bowl.
- Add all of the marinade ingredients to the bowl and, using your hands, combine everything thoroughly until the chicken pieces are fully coated.
- Cover and chill in the fridge overnight or for at least 3 hours.
- Prepare the skewers by adding chicken pieces, vegetables, and halloumi (if using), alternating as you go.
- Drizzle everything with a little olive oil and a final crack of black pepper then cook the skewers on a BBQ or under a grill until the chicken is golden and tender and the vegetables are cooked.
