Instructions
1 Before going on holiday, make spice mix. Combine all ingredients and store in a sealed container.
2 Cut chicken in bite-sized chunks. Place in a plastic bag with spice mix, lemon juice and oil. Shake to coat evenly with spices. Marinate chicken if you wish by placing bag in the fridge for a few hours.
3 Thread chicken on skewers and barbecue or cook in a pan for 5 minutes until evenly cooked.
4 Place all remaining ingredients in a pan. Cook over a gentle heat until cooked through.

HFG tip
You can make up larger quantities of the spice mix and use it for coatings on corn-on-the-cob and to flavour couscous.
