Lime & Mint Chicken Skewers

[VieveMS]

I've made this recipe a few times over the past couple of months, both pre and post Thermomix, and everyone who has tried it has commented how nice it is.  The recipe was sourced from www.taste.com.au.  

As well as BBQ skewers, I've also used the marinade for chicken breasts and cooked them on the stove (would probably work in the oven as well).

Name of Recipe:  Lime & Mint Chicken Skewers

Number of People: 6 serves

Ingredients:
2 limes
2 long fresh green chillies, deseeded
2 garlic cloves
60 ml (1/4 cup) light olive oil
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
800 g chicken thighs, fat trimmed (if doing skewers, cut into 2cm pieces)

Preparation:
- Zest the limes (or just remove the peel with a potato peeler or knife and zap in TMX)
- Juice the limes
- Put the lime zest, lime juice, chillies, garlic, coriander & mint leaves in the TMX bowl and zap until the ingredients are finely chopped and well combined.
- Transfer to a bowl and add the chicken, stirring well to coat.
- Cover and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to marinate.
- if making skewers, thread the chicken onto skewers and brush with marinade.
- BBQ, grill, bake (whatever your preferred method is) chicken until cooked through.

Serve with lime wedges, mint leaves and tzatziki.

Tips/Hints:
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to threading the chicken.  This will ensure they do not burn when cooking on the BBQ.

Kulsha - these turned out perfectly tonight on the weber, so tasty !! We served them with a simple salad of shredded Asian cabbage, sliced cherry tomatoes and crunchy noodles dressed with oil and a bit of rice wine vinegar and sesame seeds. Will make these again!!
