What to do

1. Prep the chicken and veggies
Cube and cut the chicken and vegetables into chunky pieces (see image below for reference). In a bowl, mix together the other 'marinade/ dressing' ingredients. Leave to marinate while you make the slaw.

2. Make the slaw, ingredients below
In a small bowl make the dressing by mixing together the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and sesame seeds. Prep the raw ingredients and add to a bowl, pour over the dressing so everything's well coated. Done!

• 1 carrot, grated
• ¼ red or white cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 or 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• Juice of a lime
• 1 or 2 tbsp sesame seeds

3. Make the skewers
Thread the raw ingredients onto the skewers and cook. Cooking times will vary depending on how you cook them. I rely on the food  thermometer for this.
