Elegant Chicken Zucchini Skewers

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 1 large zucchini
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 skewers

Directions

1. 1

   Thinly slice the chicken lengthwise so you end up with thin strips, about an inch wide and 5 inches long, depending on the size of the chicken breasts.

2. 2

   If the slices are more than a quarter-inch thick, lay out a piece of clingfilm (saran wrap), lay the slices of chicken on top and cover with another piece of clingfilm. Bash with a rolling pin until each slice is a quarter-inch thick.

3. 3

   Place the chicken in a bowl with the spices, stir and cover. Leave in the fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, prepare and preheat the grill.

5. 5

   Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into thin strips the length of the zucchini.

6. 6

   Thread alternate strips of chicken and zucchini onto the skewers in an "S" shape.

7. 7

   Drizzle with olive oil and grill for about 15 minutes, turning regularly, until the chicken is cooked through.
