Speedy chicken kebabs
Meat, skewers, yoghurt–I’ m a happy man! Here are my super speedy and seductive chicken kebabs. These are great to throw onto the barbecue but if the weathers not playing nicely or you want a quick mid-week meal these are perfect done on a griddle pan.

3 Get the griddle pan hot and cook the chicken skewers for about 4 mins on all sides until slightly charred and cooked through (you can check they are cooked by cutting one of the cubes of chicken).

CHEF’S TIPS
Try adding onions, mushrooms or any other vegetables you want.
Swap the chicken for halloumi for a meat-free alternative.
If cooking under the grill, soak the skewers in water first.
