Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

500g tiny new potatoes - look for packets of tiny or baby new potatoes, or pick out the smallest ones you can find if they are sold loose
3 tbsp each of chopped parsley , mint and chives
6 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
500g skinless chicken breasts , cut into 3cm chunks
1 red onion , peeled
1 red pepper , seeded and cut into 3cm chunks
1 lemon , cut into 8 wedges
8 ripe tomatoes - vine grown tomatoes tend to have the best flavour
2 green chillies , seeded and finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves , finely chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • If using wooden or bamboo skewers soak eight in cold water for about half an hour. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes, until just tender, drain and leave to cool. Mix the herbs, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a large bowl and add the chicken and potatoes. Mix well until everything is glistening. Cut the onion into 6 wedges, then separate the layers on each wedge. Add the onion and the pepper to the marinade and mix thoroughly.
  • To make the relish, halve and seed the tomatoes, then chop the flesh finely. Mix the tomatoes, chillies, garlic, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and spoon into a small dish.
  • Thread the chicken, potatoes, peppers and onion onto 8 skewers, finishing each with a lemon wedge. Barbecue directly over a medium high heat for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked. Serve piled on a serving platter with the tomato relish.
