Ingredients

  • 500g chicken tenderloins
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbs sesame seeds, toasted
  • Green salad, to serve

Vegetable Skewers

  • 1 small courgette
  • 1 small red capsicum
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 16 cherry tomatoes
  • 16 button mushrooms, stems trimmed
  • 8 wooden skewers

Lime Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbs lime marmalade
  • 1/4 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

Method

1. To make vegetable skewers, cut courgette into 1cm-thick slices. Cut capsicum into 2cm pieces. Cut red onion in half and separate layers. Thread capsicum, courgette, onion, cherry tomatoes and button mushrooms alternatively onto skewers.

2. Combine chicken tenderloins and oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook chicken and skewers in a heated, oiled grill pan (or barbecue hot plate), turning occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through and vegetables are just tender. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over chicken.

4. Meanwhile, to make dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Drizzle lime dressing over chicken and skewers. Serve with a green salad.

Notes

To avoid burning, soak skewers in a shallow bowl of water for 1 hour before using.

Also, lamb cutlets can be substituted for the chicken in this recipe.
