Chicken skewers with stir-fried greens

We've made a healthier choice by using brown rice in this dairy-free dish. Brown rice is higher in fibre than white rice, and the nutty taste is a perfect match for our stir-fry and chicken skewers.

    1. In a bowl, combine chicken, cumin, coriander, garlic, peanut oil and lemon juice. Stir to combine, then cover and chill for 10 minutes to marinate.
    2. Thread chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers. Lightly spray a chargrill pan or barbecue hotplate with oil and set over a medium heat. Cook skewers for 6-8 minutes, turning often, until cooked through.
    3. Meanwhile, in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, combine broccoli, capsicum, snow peas and 2 tablespoons water. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until veges are tender. Add sweet chilli sauce and stir to combine.
    4. Divide vegetables among 4 plates and top with chicken skewers. Serve with rice and drizzle with a little extra sweet chilli sauce, if desired.
