This is a minimum effort maximum flavour recipe. Every summer we barbecue as much as we can (well I do live in England!) and I always have to make loads of these to throw on the barbie. Not only that, if I go to a friends barbie, I always get asked to bring some of my "green chicken thingies"--hence the name! They are so easy to do, but the flavours are great. I like to use little chicken fillets if I can, but strips of chicken breast are fine. You can of course just grill these off indoors, but it’s not quite the same without that char grill flavour you get from a barbecue. They are also great hot or cold tucked into some pita bread with some salad ! NB-don't forget to soak the skewers if they are wooden! Timings do not include marinating time.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 chicken skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 chili pepper, no seeds
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Cut the chicken lengthwise into strips.
2
Put the remaining ingredients into a food processor and whiz until smooth.
3
In a bowl, coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover and chill for at least two hours.
4
When you are ready to cook, thread the chicken, concertina style onto the skewers. Grill over hot coals, basting with any remaining marinade.

This recipe is a surprise! I didn't have Fresh Coriander, but had some in a Herb Tube. Forgot the salt and pepper, but wow - the flavour was lovely and we wrote this recipe into my good 'ol fashioned cookbook. It went well with Fried Rice and stir-fry veggies. I enjoyed it so much I had to join RecipeZaar to make this comment. Thanks. L

Loved this chicken. I made half a recipe but one big jalapeno. Great flavor and the chicken was so tender. Served with Macrina's Orzo Salad With Cucumber, Bell Pepper, Basil and Feta and World's Best Tabbouli / Tabouli / Tabbouleh / Tabouleh Salad.

Love grilled chicken, and this was no exception. The marinade was definitely green....I've never marinated anything in something quite so bright! Turned out delicious. Made for PRMR Tag.
