No fuss marinated chicken chorizo skewers
We pride ourselves with how simplicity is the key to eating well and creating healthy habits for the long term. That is why, sometimes, as is the case for this recipe, it barely feels like a recipe! A marinade doesn’t have to be “chef” like or complicated with loads of ingredients. Just 2 staples here: plain yoghurt and a good quality harissa paste. In the summer, this is perfect for a BBQ and for the rest of the year you can grill these in the oven. Add to a wrap with hummus for a delicious picnic or lunch at work.

500g chicken breast fillet or thighs

Preheat oven to 190°C or prepare BBQ.
In a large bowl, add the yoghurt and harissa and mix well.
Add the chicken and mix well so chicken is fully covered.
Slide in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight.
When ready, assemble the skewers with the vegetables and chorizo.

These will keep in the fridge and make a perfect leftover lunch the next day with a colourful salad.
the health boost tip
Super quick and easy recipe. The yoghurt makes the chicken extremely tender. Kids love these, so just adjust the harissa to taste. In the summer, ideal to grill on the BBQ and share with friends.
