Hey Fellow Foodie,

Summer is nearly here, and you know what that means: longer days and the undeniable urge to eat everything off the BBQ. There’s just something about that smoky, just-charred flavour that makes a simple Thursday evening dinner feel like a mini holiday. And if you’re looking for something low effort but high-impact, we’ve got just the thing: BBQ chicken skewers, made with easy supermarket finds adding serious summer vibes.

These skewers are juicy, smoky, a little sweet, and most importantly ridiculously simple. It starts with British Chicken Breast Fillets, diced and tossed in a quick marinade that hits all the right notes. Use BBQ sauce for that deep, sticky flavour, honey for a touch of sweetness, smoked paprika for a whisper of heat, and a squeeze of lime to keep things bright. Let it sit while you do literally anything else (sip a summer cocktail, maybe?), then thread it all onto soaked wooden skewers with chunks of red and yellow pepper and wedges of red onion. The result? Colourful kebabs that taste as good as they look.

Grill them on the BBQ until they’re cooked through and gloriously charred around the edges about 20 minutes, tops. Pro tip: brush on a little extra marinade as they cook for that glossy, finger-licking finish. And if you’re already by the grill, you might as well throw on some corn on the cob and round things off with some creamy slaw, giving instant BBQ energy.

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s totally customisable. Swap the peppers for courgette, toss in a few mushrooms or even bulk it out and add all three, or simply add a splash of hot sauce to the marinade if you like things fiery. It’s garden BBQ meets weeknight ease, with ingredients you can grab in one supermarket shop.

So whether you're hosting the whole family or just making dinner al fresco, this is the kind of meal that brings people together. Sticky fingers, empty plates, and maybe a second skewer (or third) later you’ll be glad you fired up the grill.

Let summer taste like this. You deserve it.

With Love, 

Here is everything you will need to do to bring this fabulous recipe to life.
