  • 1/2 zucchini grated
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Cook quinoa according to packet instructions.
  • Combine the curry paste and water, add more liquid if required. Then, coat the chicken with the curry paste and thread onto the skewers.
  • Heat a grill pan over a medium heat and cook for 4 minutes each side, until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to rest.
