Chicken Caterpillar Kebabs

This is a great recipe ideal for kids as well as mum and dad. Adults pair the kebabs with a salad or steamed veggies if you're trying to lose weight.

If not you could add a jacket potato or a few oven baked potato or sweet potato wedges to the meal.





4 Chicken breasts, cubed
200g small green zucchini, cut into 1/2 cm chunks.
200g small button mushrooms
1 red, yellow or orange pepper, deseeded and cut into triangles

Marinade
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1-2 Tbsp. Honey
1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

To Decorate
8 spring onions
cherry tomatoes or radishes
16 whole cloves

1. Mix together the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish. Add the chicken and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water while the chicken marinates. 
2. Thread the chicken on to the skewers, putting a zucchini chunk, a mushroom and a pepper triangle between each piece of chicken. Arrange on a baking tray and transfer to a preheated oven. Cook for about 15 minutes, basting with the marinade and turning them occasionally, until cooked through.
   
3. To decorate, make a face for each caterpillar using a cherry tomato or radish, studded with clove eyes. Attach it to the tip of the skewer, and thread on a spring onion tail.

Variation:  Replace the chicken with fish fillet to make fish kebabs or for a vegetarian version add eggplant chunks.
