5-2 Recipes:HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN SKEWERS

200 calories

The chicken in this dish is very tender and delicious. Serve with a green salad, adding on the appropriate calories, if you are on a fast day. If using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them burning during cooking.

Serves 1 Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes marinating (optional) Cook time: 16m

2 tsp wholegrain mustard (14 cals)

1 tsp runny honey (23 cals)

grated zest and juice of 1 lime (4 cals)

1 × 150g (5oz) skinless chicken breast, cut into 6 small pieces (159 cals)

• Mix the mustard, honey, lime zest and juice and 1 tablespoon water together in a bowl. Add the chicken and stir until the chicken pieces are coated all over with the marinade. You could cook the chicken straight away but it tastes much better if it is left to marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

• Preheat the grill (broiler) to medium. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. You want 2 short skewers with 3 pieces of chicken on each, leaving room between the chicken pieces to allow them to cook thoroughly.

• Place the chicken skewers on a grill (broiler) pan and grill (broil) for 6–8 minutes on each side. Check that the chicken is cooked through and chargrilled all over before serving.
