Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, dried chilli flakes, sweet paprika, and sea salt flakes to create the marinade.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and toss them in the marinade, ensuring every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your grill or char-grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Toss the orange sweet potato wedges with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and paprika. Arrange them on a baking tray or grill basket.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces and red capsicum chunks alternately onto the soaked bamboo skewers.
  6. Place the sweet potato wedges on the grill or in the oven first, as they take longer to cook. Roast for about 15 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and lightly browned.
  7. Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden charred and cooked through to an internal temperature of 74ðC (165ðF).
  8. Serve the grilled chicken skewers immediately with the roasted sweet potato wedges and any remaining capsicum. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
