Steps:
- Pound each chicken breast between 2 lightly oiled sheets of parchment or waxed paper into a 4 by 4 inch piece about 1/8-inch thick.
- Lay a piece of chicken smooth-side down on the work surface. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the chile paste over the surface and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Trim and halve the scallions lengthwise. Lay them side-by-side across the lower third of the chicken, so there is white and greens at both ends. Top with 2 or 3 pieces of the red and yellow peppers. Roll the chicken around the vegetables into a tight cylinder. Thread a wooden skewer through the seam of the roll to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken and vegetables to make 4 rolls. These can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in an oven-proof nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the rolls with salt and pepper, to taste. Lay the rolls, seam side down, in the pan, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, water, chile paste, honey, mint and coriander in a small bowl and set aside.
- To serve: Carefully remove the skewers, taking care to keep the rolls intact. Cut across the rolls to make round pieces about 3/4-inch thick, and thread onto skewers. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with peanuts and serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Prepare the marinade: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and massage the meat with your hands for 1 minute to coat the cubes well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.
- (Soak the 24 wooden skewers in ice-cold water for 15 minutes to prevent them from burning, set aside.).
- Prepare the peanut coconut sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spray a grill rack with nonstick cooking spray and set the heat to high or use a grill pan. Thread 6 to 8 chicken cubes onto each skewer. When the grill is ready, cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning the skewers over halfway through. Remove the skewers from the grill and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the peanut coconut sauce alongside the chicken skewers.

THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS
A quick to prepare and extremely low-fat recipe from the 26 February 2007 issue of the Australian 'Woman's Day'. In Melbourne, we have many Thai restaurants and Thai recipes are featured regularly in our cooking magazines. NOT my sort of recipe: sounds way too hot for me, but I know that many others will love this! The preparation time below does not include the 15 minutes marinating time. I have suggested this recipe as also being suitable for picnics - where you'd take your marinated chicken in one container, and fresh salad greens in another container, and BBQ your chicken once you're at the picnic site.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, coriander, ginger, lemongrass, chilli, fish sauce and cumin.
- Add the chicken to the bowl and toss well to coat; allow to marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge; thread the chicken onto damp (see TIPS below) skewers.
- Heat a char-grill or pan on medium; spray with oil; cook skewers for 4-5 minutes each side until the chicken is cooked through; serve with lime wedges and steamed Asian greens.
- TIPS: Soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes before cooking, to prevent scorching. Steam Asian greens in a steamer over gently simmering water; drain and drizzle with hoisin to serve.
