WHY IS IT HEALTHY?

* The meat used is lean and provides very good quality protein.
* Choose vegetables of different colours to make a colourful and appetising combination. This will also increase the nutrient and phytochemical content.

TIP:

*If you have been active, the first course can be pasta or rice. If you have not been very active today, choose a salad instead.

INGREDIENTS (per person)

• 150 g chicken breast cut into evenly sized cubes. You can also prepare them with other parts of the chicken (boneless thighs, for example) or with pieces of pork tenderloin.
• 50 g green pepper cut into chunks
• 4 cherry tomatoes (50 g)
• 50 g carrot, cut into 0.5 cm thick slices
• 50 g red onion, cut into pieces
• 50 g courgette cut into 1 cm thick slices

The pre-marination makes the chicken more flavourful, but this recipe can be simplified by eliminating this step and adding only oil and salt, sprinkling with oil macerated with cayenne and garlic, using freshly ground black pepper, etc.

PREPARATION

1. Put the chicken cubes, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, paprika powder, salt and pepper in a bowl or container and mix well until well combined. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate for about 1 hour in the fridge.

2. Once the marinating time has elapsed, it is time to assemble the chicken and vegetable skewers. To do this, take a toothpick and thread all the prepared ingredients in the order you like best.
For example, first the chicken, a piece of pepper, a slice of carrot, a slice of onion, a piece of onion, chicken again, a cherry tomato, a slice of courgette, etc.

3. Finally, we cook the skewers. They can be grilled, barbecued, baked or air-fried.

We will know they are ready to eat when the meat is fully cooked inside.
