Ingredients
 

  • 1 kg Chicken thighs cut into chunks
  • 2 Nectarines sliced into chunks
  • 2 White onions sliced a similar size to the chicken and nectorine

Mango marinade

  • 1 Fresh medium sized fresh mango
  • 1 Thumb size piece of ginger peeled
  • 1 Red chilli seeds out
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsps Honey
  • ½ tsp Cumin
  • ½ tsp Ground coriander
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • 1 Handful of fresh coriander
  • 1 pinch Pepper
  • 1 pinch Salt

Courgette (serves 2)

  • 1 Pack of store bought courgette time saver
  • 2 Shallots finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 Fresh red chilli finely chopped and seeds out

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Spicy mango chutney I got mine from M & S
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce

Optional garnishing:

  • Fresh coriander
  • Dollop of chilli mango chutney

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat grill on a medium-high heat

Chicken skewers

  • Start by cutting the chicken into chunks and placing in a large bowl followed by the chopped onion and sliced nectarine.
  • Add all the mango marinade ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the bowl with the chicken, onion and nectarine. Combine well with clean hands.
  • Carefully place the chicken, nectarine and onion in any combination you fancy onto a metal skewer before placing on a tin foil lined baking tray. (I like the combo of 2 pieces of chicken, mango then onion simultaneously)
  • Place under the grill for 15-20 minutes turning ever 5 minutes. (Timings will vary depending on how big you cut your chicken)

Courgette

  • Combine the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and stir well, set aside.
  • Pierce the bag of the courgette in several places and place in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Add the shallots, garlic and chilli to a skillet on a medium-high heat along with 1 tbsp of oil and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  • Add the pre cooked courgette to the wok followed by the sauce. Stir well for a further minute.
  • Serve and enjoy.
