NOO'S FAMOUS SPICED GREEN CHICKEN SKEWERS
This is a minimum effort maximum flavour recipe. Every summer we barbecue as much as we can (well I do live in England!) and I always have to make loads of these to throw on the barbie. Not only that, if I go to a friends barbie, I always get asked to bring some of my "green chicken thingies"--hence the name! They are so easy to do, but the flavours are great. I like to use little chicken fillets if I can, but strips of chicken breast are fine. You can of course just grill these off indoors, but it�s not quite the same without that char grill flavour you get from a barbecue. They are also great hot or cold tucked into some pita bread with some salad ! NB-don't forget to soak the skewers if they are wooden! Timings do not include marinating time. I just have to add that this is now a prize winning recipe..having been submitted for a competition here in Adelaide, I got invited along for a cook off with five others, and won a top of the range Weber Q barbecue and a stack of Weber goodies to go with it...along with plenty of rave reviews!! NOTE: I don't recommend using all ground coriander and no fresh coriander..it really isn't the same at all.

SPICED CHICKEN AND GRAPE SKEWERS
Adapted from Ellie Krieger's recipe. Chicken and grapes are just meant to be together! This combination is just wonderful with the cumin and coriander spices. It is equally delicious with lemon or orange. The savory garlic and sweet grapes make it irresistible. I serve it with a quick yogurt sauce (greek or plain yogurt, garlic, fresh lemon or orange juice). Ellie's couscous and a green vegetable are great side dishes. This is so fast and easy to prepare. Substitutions work well also.

Tips:
- For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the skewers in a grill pan or even in a regular skillet.
- Be sure to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- For a more flavorful marinade, add a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of dried oregano to the recipe.
- If you like your chicken a little spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- For a healthier version of this recipe, use whole wheat pita bread and low-fat yogurt in the tzatziki sauce.
