Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts , cut into bite-sized cubes
50ml low-fat natural yogurt
juice and zest ½ lemon
1 garlic clove , crushed
1 tbsp finely chopped tarragon
300g new potato
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
½ tbsp finely chopped parsley
½ tbsp finely chopped mint
½ tbsp snipped chives
100ml low-fat crème fraîche
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
juice 1 lemon
100g fennel , trimmed and roughly grated
100g small white cabbage , cored and finely shredded
1 carrot , roughly grated
1 sharp Green apple , such as Granny Smith, grated

Steps:

  • If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 mins. Heat the grill to high and place a non-stick baking tray beneath it. In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken, turning it to ensure it is thoroughly coated. Cover and set aside.
  • Put the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water and cook until a fork easily pierces them - about 12 mins. Meanwhile, mix the oil and herbs in a small bowl.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing for the coleslaw. Mix together the crème fraiche, mustard and lemon in a large bowl. Add all the vegetables and the apple, and stir well.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan. Pour the herb mixture over them, stir gently to mix, cover to keep warm and set aside.
  • Finally, divide the chicken between 4 skewers and place on the hot baking tray, spooning excess marinade over the chicken. Put the tray under the grill and cook for 6-8 mins, turning the skewers every 2 mins or so to ensure even cooking. Cut open a piece of chicken to ensure it's cooked through. Serve with the potatoes and coleslaw, reserving half the coleslaw for Smoked mackerel platter (see 'goes well with').
