How to cook deliciously - Preserved lemon chicken skewers with summer tomato salad

1. Stage

Cut the chicken into 3cm pieces, then mix in a bowl with the lemon, thyme, garlic, oil and ¼ tsp black pepper. Leave covered in the fridge for at least 3 hrs or ideally, overnight.

2. Stage

Just before you’re ready to cook the chicken, make the salad dressing by whisking together the oil, lemon juice, parsley and garlic.

3. Stage

Thread the chicken onto four skewers, put on the barbecue and cook for 15-20 mins, turning halfway. They should be nicely charred and cooked through. Alternatively, heat a griddle pan over a high heat until very hot. Lay the skewers in the pan and cook for 15-20 mins, turning halfway.

4. Stage

Arrange the tomatoes and olives on a sharing platter. Drizzle over the dressing, scatter over the pine nuts and extra thyme, then serve with the chicken skewers.
