Mother's day brochettes

Method

1. 1

   Preparation of the marinade with honey and strawberry

2. 2

   In a large salad bowl, mix strawberry jam with honey, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste, then stir until you get a very homogeneous marinade. This sweet-salty base will delicately scent the chicken and give the skewers a festive, fruity and original touch.

3. 3

   Cut chicken and marinade

4. 4

   Cut the chicken into regular pieces, suitable for skewers, to ensure uniform cooking. Place them in the salad bowl containing the marinade, then mix carefully to coat each piece well. Cover and let sit cool for at least 30 minutes if possible, so that the flavours have time to penetrate the meat.

5. 5

   Preparation of melon, tomatoes and mozzarella

6. 6

   Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds and then remove the flesh into pieces or balls as desired. Wash the cherry tomatoes and remove them from their clusters. Drain the mozzarella balls. Rinse the basil as well, then dry it gently. Keep some beautiful whole leaves for mounting and possibly a little for finishing at the time of service.

7. 7

   Mounting of skewers

8. 8

   On skewers, alternate pieces of chicken marinated with melon, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls and some folded basil leaves if their size allows. Divide the ingredients in a balanced way to get generous, pretty to present and easy to cook skewers. Then brush them with the rest of the olive oil to prevent them from attaching.

9. 9

   Cooking skewers at the barbecue

10. 10

    Heat the barbecue until you get medium to sustained heat. Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook them regularly so that the chicken is golden on all sides. During cooking, you can brush them slightly with some remaining marinade, without excess, to strengthen their flavor and favor a beautiful caramelization.

11. 11

    Cooking check and basil finish

12. 12

    When the chicken is well cooked and the vegetables have slightly coloured, remove the skewers from the barbecue. Check that the meat no longer has dew. Add some fresh basil leaves over, as well as a round of pepper if you like. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between hot, melted and fruity.
