Even if the sun doesn’t come out, these skewers will make a great ‘barbecued’ meal – simply cook indoors under the grill for the same tasty flavour.

Lemon Juice, Fresh

1 tablespoon(s)

Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Soak 4 wooden skewers in a shallow dish of cold water for at least 10 minutes. Set aside. Put the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, thyme leaves and chilli in a small jug and whisk to combine.
  2. Put the chicken, halloumi, pepper and courgette in a medium bowl, drizzle over the marinade and stir to combine, then cover with clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  3. Heat the grill to high. Thread the marinated ingredients onto the skewers, then grill for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  4. Put the yogurt and harissa paste in small bowl and stir to combine. Serve the skewers with the harissa yogurt drizzled over, with the rocket leaves on the side.
