Method

  1. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl, stir in the chicken, cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  2. Thread the chicken pieces onto 8 skewers with alternate pieces of red and green peppers and onion.
  3. Melt 15g (1/2oz) buttery spread and use to brush the kebabs before cooking under the grill for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet directions and drain.
  5. Heat the remaining buttery spread in a saucepan, add the red onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft but not brown. Add the cooked rice together with the raisins and stir to heat through.
