Sesame chicken & prawn skewers

 Serve these chicken and prawn canapés with drinks when you're entertaining. They're not only tasty but healthy and low-fat too.

Ingredients

    thumb-sized piece ginger, grated

    1 large garlic clove, grated

    1 tsp honey

    1½ tsp soy sauce

    1 tsp sesame oil

    ½ lime, juiced

    1 tbsp sesame seeds

    1 skinless chicken breast, cut into 10 pieces

    10 raw king prawns

    1 broccoli head, cut into 20 florets

    20 cocktail skewers

Method

    STEP 1

    Combine the ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice and sesame seeds. Divide between two bowls, then add the chicken pieces to one and the prawns to the other. Toss both mixtures well, then leave to marinate in the fridge for 15 mins.

    STEP 2

    Cook the chicken in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 3 mins, then push to one side and add the prawns to the other side of the pan. Cook for 2 mins until the prawns are pink and the chicken is cooked through (use two separate pans if anyone you’re cooking for has an allergy or is a pescatarian). Put the broccoli in a microwaveable bowl with a splash of water, then cover and cook on high for 5 mins.

    STEP 3

    Thread half of the skewers with chicken and broccoli and the other half with prawns and broccoli.
