    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Place chicken, ground spices, garlic, peanut oil and juice in a large bowl, mixing to combine.

    2 Thread chicken onto eight pre-soaked wooden skewers (see Cook’s tip). Lightly spray a chargrill pan or a barbecue hotplate with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add skewers and cook, turning frequently, for 4–5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

    3 Meanwhile, lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add broccolini, capsicum and snow peas and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes. Add a splash of water to create steam, then cook for a further 3 minutes or until vegies are tender, but still crisp.

    4 Divide vegetables among four serving plates. Top with chicken skewers, drizzle with sweet chilli sauce, if using, and serve with brown rice on the side.

    HFG tip

    Soaking wooden skewers in cold water prevents them from charring or burning. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers.
