Make me with:

Chicken Breast Fillets (boneless skinless)

Ingredients
(Serves 8)

  • 500g Waitoa Free Range chicken breasts
  • 200g haloumi cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Olivado oil
  • 4 tablespoons mint leaves, very finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • handful of celery leaves (from the centre)
  • 4 small tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • ½ small cucumber, cubed
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • handful of coriander leaves
  • handful of parsley leaves
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Method

Soak 16 skewers in warm water for 20 minutes then drain.

Cut the chicken and haloumi into even-sized cubes (about 2cm-3cm) and thread on to skewers (each skewer should have 4-5 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of haloumi).

Combine the olive oil, mint, garlic and lemon zest in a bowl. Spoon this mix over the skewers, rubbing it in to coat well. Put the celery leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, coriander and parsley in a bowl then pour over the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss the salad to combine.

Heat a barbecue or grill plate to hot. Season the skewers then grill for about 5 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked through. Serve with the salad and flat breads.
