Ingredients
-
1 batch of Pesto (also in OMG) - This can be made nut / dairy free. See recipe for details.
-
4 Chicken Breasts (around 600g) / 400g Halloumi (100g per person).
-
Juice of 1.5 Lemons (around 45ml)
-
200g of Bell Pepper (red, orange, or yellow)
-
200g Courgette
-
Around 25g Cherry Tomatoes (1 for each skewer)
-
Steel or Wooden Skewers.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 220°C / Ninja Grill to High
If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water whilst you prep.
If you haven't already, make the pesto (also in OMG).
Chop the chicken, pepper and courgette into bite-size pieces / slices and add to a bowl with the pesto and lemon juice. Stir to cover everything.
Prepare your skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables and skewering a cherry tomato on the end for decoration 😀.
Grill the kebabs for 26-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Part-way through baking, spoon over any remaining pesto mixture leftover in the bowl.
