Chicken Kebabs with Noodles

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 100ml sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 red onion, cut into small wedges
  • 2 nests (100g) medium egg noodles
  • 1 bunch spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 red pepper, seeded and finely sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 small bunch coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 lime, cut in half
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and soak 2 wooden skewers in cold water.

  2. Tip the chicken into a bowl, add 30g of the sweet chilli sauce sauce and toss to coat. If you have time, cover and place into the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight. If not, use straight away.

  3. Thread a wedge of red onion onto a soaked skewer, then a piece of chicken, then add a wedge of red onion and another piece of chicken. Repeat until all the chicken and red onion have been divided between the two skewers.

  4. Heat a griddle pan until hot, then place the skewers onto the pan and cook on each side for 2 minutes. Transfer to an oven tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.

  5. While the chicken cooks, prepare the noodles. Bring a wok half full of water to the boil. Add the noodles and simmer for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

  6. Return the empty wok to the heat, add the spring onions and red peppers and cover with a lid to wilt for 1 minute. Remove the lid and stir fry for another minute until softened.

  7. Toss the hot noodles into the pan and stir through then add the sesame oil, half the remaining sweet chilli sauce and stir to coat. Remove from the heat and add the chopped coriander and lime juice and stir once more.

  8. Spoon the noodles onto a large sharing platter and shape into a heart. Top with the grilled kebabs, spoon the remaining chilli sauce over the kebabs, then finish with a scattering of sesame seeds.
