Mexican Chicken Skewers With Salsa
- 4 skinless chicken thighs
- 1 large red capsicum, cut into 2cm squares (approx 1-inch)
- 1 (35 g) packet taco seasoning
- 4 tablespoons lime juice (bottled is fine)
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 avocados, cut into 1cm cubes (approx 1/2-inch)
- 2 small tomatoes, roughly diced
- 1 small red onion, roughly diced
- 1 (250 g) can corn kernels
- 1 bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped (reserve a few sprigs for garnish)
- 1 (200 g) jar taco sauce (medium hot)
- salt
- 8 lettuce leaves or 1 bunch baby rocket
- Skewers:.
- Cut chicken thighs into large (approx 5cm (2")) cubes.
- Thread capsicum and chicken pieces alternately onto four bamboo skewers, i.e.
- capsicum/chicken/capsicum/chicken etc.
- Sprinkle lime juice over the chicken skewers, then evenly sprinkle over the Taco Seasoning, making sure to coat all sides.
- Cover and refrigerate while you make the salsa.
- Salsa:.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine avocado cubes, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, corn kernels and chopped coriander.
- Pour over the jar of Taco Sauce and mix well to combine.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate while you cook the skewers.
- Cook skewers on a barbecue (grill) or in a frypan (using a tablespoon or two of oil) over a medium heat until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes), turning constantly.
- Reserve any left-over lime juice/seasoning on the plate.
- Don't worry if chicken blackens a little, but if it appears to be burning, reduce heat to very low and continue cooking.
- About half way through cooking, tip any leftover lime juice/seasoning that's left on the plate over the top of the skewers.
- To serve, spoon salsa onto a bed of lettuce or rocket leaves.
- Drizzle the skewers with sour cream and serve alongside the salsa.
- Garnish with the reserved coriander.
