Barbecued Chicken Fajita Skewers Recipes

CHICKEN FAJITA SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, lime juice and spices in a bowl and mix well.
• Add the chicken and allow to marinade for 30 mins-1 hour.
• Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers with the peppers and onions. Place back in the marinade and allow to marinade until you are ready to cook.
• Cook the chicken fajita skewers in a hot griddle pan until the chicken is cooked through.
• Serve with tortillas, sour cream and guacamole.

BARBECUED CHICKEN FAJITA SKEWERS

Steps:

• Make the marinade. In a large bowl, juice both the limes. Add the oregano, spices, olive oil and garlic, and mix together. Dice the chicken, then get your child to stir it through the marinade, and set aside.
• Prepare the vegetables. Deseeding the peppers and halving the onion is tricky, so do this yourself. Children aged from about seven or above can cut them into chunks using a child-friendly knife.
• Make your skewers. Carefully thread alternate pieces of chicken, peppers and onion onto your skewers. Smaller children might find this a little hard, so the best way is to stab the ingredients and push them up the skewers. When you've used up all the ingredients, set aside. Can be made several hours ahead and chilled until ready to cook.
• Prepare the guacamole. Stone and peel the avocados, then tip into a bowl with the other ingredients. Get your child to use a potato masher to mash everything together and tip into a serving dish.
• Cook the skewers. Heat a barbecue or griddle pan. Cook the skewers for 10-12 mins, turning, until they are cooked all the way through. A child from the age of eight can watch over a griddle and turn the skewers with a pair of tongs. Serve the skewers on heated tortillas with the guacamole, soured cream, chopped coriander, lime wedges on the side and chilli sauce for those who like a touch of spice.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
• In a small serving bowl, make dipping sauce by stirring together the ketchup, maple syrup, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, squash, oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until well coated.
• Microwave the Crispy Chicken Strips for 2 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut into 2-inch pieces, then thread onto skewers, alternating with the zucchini and squash slices.
• Place on the hot grill. Grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes.
• Serve with the dipping sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• Whisk lime juice, olive oil, and fajita seasoning together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut bell peppers in half and discard the inner membranes and seeds.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Place chicken and peppers (cut-sides down) on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, and peppers have nice grill marks on them, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Cut peppers and chicken into strips and serve on tortillas.
