Method #
Let’s start from making a sauce
Place all sauce ingredients into a pan.
Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool down.
Let’s prepare our chicken
Cut chicken breasts into thick cubes and put them into a bowl with a sauce. Mix all together. Cover with cling film and leave for at least 1 hour to marinate.
Heat the oven to 220C with a fan.
Line the tray with aluminium foil.
After chicken breast cubes are marinated impale them on skewers.
Put them on a baking tray.
Pour over the top the remaining marinade sauce.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Serve hot with baked potatoes or fresh bread on the side. Perfect addition to a healthy salad.
Tips #
The sauce needs to be cooled down before combining with the chicken, otherwise, the chicken will start to cook on the surface.
