Chicken skewers with yellow kiwi and mango sauce
Servings: 4 people
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Recipe suitable for: Lactose intolerant and Celiacs
Ingredients: 3 boneless chicken breasts, 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves, 1 or 2 lemons, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 100 ml of white wine or water, 1 teaspoon of minced cumin, 1 bunch of parsley, 1 bunch of coriander, 4 loaves of pita bread or Mexican (cornmeal) tortillas
For the sauce: 2 Zespri SunGold kiwis, ½ mango, ½ lime juice, ½ tender onion, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 bunch of fresh coriander, salt
Preparation: Peel the garlic cloves and the onion. Wash the parsley and coriander and separate the leaves from the stalks.
Cut the chicken into pieces of the same size and place them in an ovenproof dish.
In the mixer bowl put the onion, garlic, sugar, wine, sesame, cumin, parsley and coriander leaves, salt, lemon juice and a little grated lemon zest. Chop everything, pour the sauce over the chicken and turn over so that the seasoning is distributed. Stop the baking dish and leave to marinate in the fridge for 3 or 4 hours.
Remove the meat from the marinade sauce and put the pieces of chicken on the wooden skewers, previously moistened with water.
Heat a plate or a pan, brush with oil and cook the skewers about 3 minutes per side.
For the sauce: Peel the kiwis and mango and cut into very small cubes. In a bowl, mix them with the lime juice, olive oil, onion and chopped coriander. Serve the skewers with the sauce and the type of bread you prefer.
