Coriander Chicken Skewers

First published Sep 17, 2012

Not sure about you, but I get bored of barbeque sauce.  I mean, there are so many flavors out there... why not experiment with something new!?  I had made this recipe ages ago, and had forgotten about it as I hadn't had the opportunity to barbeque for some time.  When the invitation went out for an afternoon gathering and "bring your own meat"... I searched through all the recipe books I could think of... and finally found it.  Whew!  So am adding it to the blog here so I don't lose it again.  And to share, of course!




 
 
Coriander Chicken Skewers
 
Ingredients
Approx. 2 large chicken breasts - cubed
100 g (2 cups) corianer (cilantro), stems, leaves, roughly chopped
2 tsp black peppercorns
2 tsp sea salt
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp lime juice
60 ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
 
Method

Place coriander, peppercorns, salt, garlic, lime juice and oil in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Place chicken and marinade into a ziplock bag, and rub in marinade to ensure all chicken is coated.
Place in refriderator to marinate for 2 hours. (Or you can place in freezer if you wish to make ahead of time.)
Bring to room temperature for the last 30 minutes.
Soak 8-10 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes while the chicken is reaching room temperature.
Thread skewers with chicken.
Place on barbeque and cook till the chicken has a nice char.
 
Note: You can also barbeque whole chickens in this manner.
