Nutritional information

1

Soak 4 wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes.

2

Mix the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil with 1 tsp jerk seasoning (or 2 tsp if you prefer a spicier flavour). Stir in the chicken and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.

3

Thread a piece of pepper onto a skewer, then onion, then chicken, finishing with onion.

Try other vegetables like mushrooms and courgettes – or even fruit like mango or pineapple.

4

Cook on the barbecue for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently. Alternatively, cook under a preheated grill.

5

Meanwhile cook the sweetcorn cobettes in boiling water, or on the barbecue for 6-8 minutes.

Add flatbreads or boiled rice for an easy meal.
