Equipment

  • 6 small metal or wooden skewers
  • sharp knife
  • chopping board

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 chicken breasts medium, skinless and boneless
  • 225 g halloumi 1 pack
  • 200 g fresh chorizo sausage 4 sausages

For the marinade

  • 2 tablespoon rosemary fresh
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cut each sausage into 3 or 2cm pieces and each chicken breast into 6.
  • Next, cut the halloumi into 3 slices along the length and then cut each slice into 6.
  • Thread the pieces onto 6 skewers, starting with 2 lots of halloumi, chicken and sausage, then finishing with halloumi.
  • Mix the olive oil, rosemary and pepper together and coat the chicken and halloumi skewers with a pastry brush before cooking.
  • Cook under a medium grill for about 10 minutes, turning regularly until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has a crispy crust.

Notes

 
💭 TOP TIPS
  • Drain the liquid from the halloumi and let it rest on kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This helps to get a crisp outside when cooking.
  • If you soak the wooden skewers in hot water for 5 minutes before using them they are less likely to burn on the barbecue or grill.
