Grilled chicken is a great form of lean protein that’ll make you feel full and help to repair your muscles after a workout. But it can also become a bit of a boring go-dish for those who try to eat healthily. That’s why we love this recipe, as it gives chicken a totally Mediterranean makeover that makes it a bit more exciting and makes it taste delicious.

Ingredients (serves 4)

4tbsp Sacla Chargrilled Aubergine Pesto

4 chicken breasts

2 limes, cut into wedges

Tzatziki to dip

12 wooden skewers

Method

Spoon the Sacla Chargrilled Aubergine Pesto into a bowl. Next slice each chicken breast into three strips, and add them to the pesto.

Stir to cover, and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour (longer if possible). Soak 12 wooden skewers in water (this will stop them burning later).

When you’re ready, remove the chicken from the fridge and thread it onto wooden skewers. Finish each skewer by adding a lime wedge to the end.

Next heat a griddle or frying pan until it’s hot, and add the chicken skewers. Cook for five minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Serve with a tzatziki to dip.
