Fast Chicken, Haloumi Veg Skewers 

Do you need a recipe for a tasty, healthy dinner on the table in under 30 minutes? This is it. A new Fresh and Fast Friday recipe.

I made these for dinner last night and while Punky (4 years old) was eating them he said to me “Mum, I am going to call you chef because you are such a good cooker”.  Melt my heart! What a gorgeous thing to say. I am thrilled that he enjoys his food as much as I enjoy cooking it for him.

I have listed the vegetables we like to eat. You can use what ever you and your family enjoys.

• Serves: 4
• Preparation time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Sauce to baste (or use as a marinate if extra time is available):

• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder

Chicken skewers:

• 2 small chicken breast fillets cut into cubes (about 2cm square)
• 1 capsicum – I used 1/2 a green capsicum and 1/2 a yellow one – cut into squares
• 12 mushrooms – halved if desired
• 1 punnet of tomatoes
• 50 grams of haloumi cheese – cut into cubes about 2 cm square
• 1/3 zucchini peeled and sliced 1 cm thick

Optional:

• 1 sweet potato peeled and sliced
• 1 potato peeled and sliced

Steps:

1. To make the sauce for basting (or to use as a marinate) mix all ingredients
2. Turn on the oven to 2oo degrees and use the grill fan-forced option (if available – if not use Grill)
3. Put the sliced potato and sweet potatoes onto a plate and cook them in the microwave on high for 3 minutes
4. Thread the chicken, vegetables and haloumi in a random order onto skewers until all ingredients are used and baste the chicken with the sauce
5. Put the skewers onto a tray and then into the oven for 10 minutes to cook
6. After 10 minutes turn the skewers and cook for a further 10 minutes
7. Put the sliced potatoes and sweet potatoes into a sandwich press and cook for 5-8 minutes until browned – or cook in a pan if desired. I am loving using my sandwich press for cooking slices of vegetables as no oil is required and it cook time is quick.
