ingredients
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
-
For the marinade
- 1 large fresh tarragon sprig
- 1 red chile, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked pimiento
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
directions
- Cut the chicken thighs into chunks - about 1in and then set aside.
- Make the marinade. Strip the leaves from the tarragon and place them in a mortar with the roughly chopped chili.
- Add the garlic, a generous pinch of salt, a grinding of pepper and pound everything to a paste with a pestle (alternatively use a food processor).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked pimenton (this adds a lovely smoky flavour to the marinade). Add the tomato paste, balsamic or sherry vinegar and olive oil. Stir thoroughly and pour over the chicken. Leave the chicken to marinate until ready to cook.
- Preheat the broiler and line a grill pan with silver foil. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers and serve immediately.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
