  • extra virgin olive oil for cooking
  • 1 head broccoli small, stem & florets roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter natural, crunchy or smooth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 0.25 cup canned coconut milk optional
  • spring onion sliced
  • Fresh coriander
  • lime wedges

Instructions

  • For the marinade: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add the diced chicken and coat well. Marinate for 10 minutes, but overnight is even better.
  • Thread the diced chicken onto skewers, placing about four pieces on each skewer.

  • Place the rice, water and coconut milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer, put the lid on and cook for 12–15 minutes or until cooked through. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  • Place a large frying pan over medium heat or preheat your barbecue to medium. Add a little olive oil and cook the chicken skewers for 5–7 minutes each side or until just cooked through. If they are colouring too much, reduce the heat to make sure they cook evenly.

Notes

If using wooden skewers, make sure you soak them for 10 minutes in cold water before threading the chicken. This will prevent them from burning.
You don’t have to skewer the chicken, you can simply cook it in pieces. Just make sure it’s spread out enough while cooking, so it doesn’t stew.
