Chicken On Lemongrass Skewers - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
6 stalks lemongrass
1/3 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon lime rind, grated
1/4 cup coriander leaves, coarsely chopped
6 chicken breasts
Dressing
1/4 cup lime juice
2 small birds eye chiles, seeded and finely chopped
1/3 cup macadamia nut oil
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 garlic clove, crushed
Preparation
-
Cut approx 3cm (1.2in) from the lemongrass (not the hard white part, the other end). Finely chop.
Combine chopped lemongrass, peanut oil, lime rind and coriander in a shallow non-reactive dish.
Cut each chicken breast into 4, and thread onto lemongrass skewers. The lemongrass skewers may bend, if this happens carefully use a knife to cut a slit into the chicken - it should thread on easily now.
Place skewers in with marinade and turn to fully coat.
Cover and marinade for 3 hours or overnight.
Cook skewers on lightly oiled bbq until chicken is browned and cooked through.
Combine dressing ingredients in a screw top jar and shake to combine.
Serve chicken skewers over rice (optional) and top with dressing.
