Simple and quick chicken and ham skewers served with a spicy peanut butter dipping sauce - cooked by Phil Vickery on This Morning.

Ingredients

  • 120 g oz crunchy peanut butter
  • Pinch of chilli powder
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander, optional

For the skewers:

  • 2 skinned chicken breasts, each cut in 6 thin strips
  • 6 slices air-dried ham, each cut into 2 lengthways
  • Vegetable oil, for greasing
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 wooden skewers

Method: How to make Grilled chicken and air dried ham skewers

1

Soak the skewers in cold water. To make the sauce, place the peanut butter, chilli powder, 8-10 tablespoons water and the lemon juice in a small pan and gently heat until you have a sauce consistency. Add the coriander, transfer to an airtight lidded container and chill until needed.

2

Thread the chicken on the skewers, then wrap the ham strips around the chicken. Secure either end of the ham on the skewer.

3

Heat a griddle pan, or, light a disposable barbeque and when a few tips of the charcoal are still black, but the rest are grey; it is ready to cook on.

4

Lightly oil the chicken and the barbeque with a little oil dabbed on kitchen paper. Season the kebabs and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

5

Serve hot, with the chilled peanut sauce separately (you may need to add a little water to the sauce to thin it out after it has been chilled.)
