It is a brilliant option for those seeking a high-protein meal that does not compromise on complex flavours.
Ideal for both casual midweek dining and weekend entertaining, these skewers can be prepared well in advance to allow the flavours to develop.

Ingredients for Tarragon Chicken with Anchovy Cream
350g , about 2 boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
4 chopsticks, lacquered for colour
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 anchovy fillets in oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
120ml crème fraîche
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 pinch tarragon
Salt and pepper to taste
How to make Tarragon Chicken with Anchovy Cream
Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes. Place in a Ziploc bag and add the rest of the ingredients. Seal and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Turn your oven to grill and skewer the cubes on the chopsticks. If the chopsticks are not lacquered then place them in water for an hour before use, so they won't char in the oven.
Grill the skewers in the top of your oven for about 12 minutes or until completely cooked through. Turn after half the time.
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the anchovy fillets and stir them until they melt.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the rest of the ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. Add more lemon juice if you want.
The skewers can be served both warm and cold.
The sauce tastes better the longer it gets to absorb the flavours, so it can easily be prepared the day before. The same goes for the marinated skewers. Prepare and marinate the day before and just grill before the guests arrive.
If you have access to a grill, then of course that adds to the flavour. Don't forget to soak nonlacquered skewers beforehand so that they don't catch fire.
