Method
- In a bowl, mix together the mango chutney, coconut cream, garlic and coriander seeds, then season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir well to coat in the mixture. Cover and set aside for 30 mins at room temperature, or leave to chill overnight in the fridge.
- If you’re using wooden skewers, soak 16 of them in water for 1 hr. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers and lay them onto a foil-lined grill pan. Heat the grill to high and cook for 8-10 mins, turning them once or twice, until cooked through.
- Serve on a platter with sliced chilli, coriander leaves and lime wedges.
