- Mix the cumin powder, paprika, ground coriander, chilli flakes, and olive oil in a bowl.
- Crush the garlic cloves and add to the marinade.
- Finely chop the mint leaves and add to the marinade.
- Season well with salt and pepper.
- To Make the Skewers
- Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and mix well so each piece is fully coated.
- Leave to marinate in the fridge for as long as possible. Ideally a few hours but if you’re pushed for time then as little as 30 mins will be OK.
- Chop the vegetables into bite sized pieces.
- Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers alternating between one piece of chicken and one vegetable to ensure a nice mix of flavours.
- occasionally to ensure all sides are cooked.
- Grill over a fire or on a BBQ for 8-10 mins turning occasionally to ensure all sides are cooked.
