Add 2 tbsp of the Souvlaki Seasoning Mix and mix well. Cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Slide your chicken pieces onto the skewers and then spray them liberally with low calorie cooking spray.

Heat a cast iron griddle pan (or mist a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and heat, if you don't have one). When the pan is very hot, add the chicken skewers and cook on each side until the chicken colours.

Phase 8

Once coloured on all sides, place the chicken in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
