Ingredients
For the Spice Mix:
- 1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Teaspoons Paprika
- 1 Teaspoon Oregano
- 1 Teaspoon Coriander
- 1 Teaspoon Cumin
- 1 Teaspoon Chilli Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- Pinch Salt and pepper
For the Skewers:
- 600 g Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh Fillets Chopped into 2-3cm bites
- 2 Peppers Deseeded and chopped into 2-3cm bites
- 1 Large Red Onion Peeled and chopped into 8 chunks and separated into slices
- 225 g Halloumi Cheese Chopped into 1-2cm cubes
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Soak 8 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes.
- Stir the spices, herbs and salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Place the chicken in a large bowl.
- Pour in a tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of the spice mix and stir it well. Leave in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
- Thread the chicken, halloumi and veggies onto the skewers in a pattern.
- Spray a large baking tray with cooking spray and place the skewers on, leaving a little space between them.
- Grill the skewers on medium heat for 10 minutes on each side, turning carefully.
- You might find that a lot of liquid comes out of your veggies and halloumi. If so, try to drain some off halfway through when you turn the skewers over.
- Make sure the chicken is piping hot and cooked through (I recommend ripping the biggest bit off and chopping it in half) before serving. You can grill for a little longer if necessary.
