No matter what you call it: roast chicken, fried chicken, flattermann, grilled chicken, back chicken, chicken, roast chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken, or golden broiler chicken – chicken is becoming increasingly popular for grilling. Whether as a chicken fillet, whole on a rotisserie, or, as in our example, as a chicken skewer : the right marinade is crucial to give the chicken a unique flavor. Here's a great recipe for fruity chicken skewers.

You need (for about two people) the following ingredients:

• 400 g chicken breast fillet
• 1 ripe mango
• 2 shallots
• 200 g lentils (if possible half black and half red lentils)
• olive oil
• A dash of white wine
• Chicken stock
• curry powder
• 3–4 tbsp crème fraîche
• salt and pepper
• Garam Masala (or alternatively a pinch each of the following spices: ginger, coriander, cinnamon, bay leaf, clove, cumin, nutmeg, cardamom)
• Skewers – we recommend our SKOTTI PIKES

Preparation – Here’s how to proceed:

1. Cut the chicken breast and the peeled mango into cubes of about 2 cm each and alternate the meat and mango on the skewers.
2. Prepare the lentils in a pan before grilling. Finely chop the shallots and then sauté them in a pan. Then add the lentils and sauté them. Deglaze with white wine and add chicken stock until everything is covered. Add the garam masala or the individual spices. Cook the lentils, stirring constantly, until they are still slightly firm to the bite, adding more chicken stock if necessary.
3. Now season the chicken skewers with salt and pepper and cook on the grill on both sides over direct heat for at least 4 minutes.
4. Finally, dust the lentils with a little curry powder and fold in the crème fraîche.
5. Arrange the skewers on the curry lentils and enjoy.

In addition to the lentils, a salad or rice also makes a great side dish to these delicious skewers! Or you can make marinated chicken skewers next time – a true treat!

Bon appetit!
