Method: How to make chicken and garden veg kebabs

1. Make up a little marinade by mixing 1 tbsp olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tsp chopped thyme leaves and plenty of salt and pepper. Cut 4 chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and toss in the marinade. Leave for 30 minutes.

2. Put 8 skewers to soak in cold water. Slice 3 large, firm courgettes into 3cm-long chunks and do the same with 2 slim, trimmed leeks. Toss the vegetables in with the chicken.

3. Thread the chunks of chicken, courgette and leek onto the soaked skewers. Cook on a hot barbecue, or under a hot grill, turning regularly, for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

4. Serve hot with a fresh tomato sauce or a spicy chutney. Makes 8 skewers.
