Noo's Famous Spiced Green Chicken Skewers

Noo's Note:

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.

Made this recipe as given & had a wonderfully tasty chicken entree laid out on a bed of brown rice & peas! A great way to do up chicken after a very warm day, for sure! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Fabulous grilled chicken! I love that this recipe is super simple to prepare. I marinated the chicken earlier in the day and then when dinner time came, it was a snap to pop on the grill. The cilantro flavor shines through and is delicious. Made for Please Review my Recipe tag game.

I used all ground coriander and crushed red pepper flakes for the chilis so ours didn't come out green but was very flavorful and spicy. I cooked the strips fajita style with green bell peppers and onions and it was very good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
