Chicken Brochettes with Serrano Ham

Preparation

Cut the chicken into 24 equal chunks. Wrap each chunk in a strip of Serrano ham. Cut the bread into 16 equal squares. On each skewer, thread a piece of chicken, a sage leaf, a square of bread followed by a second piece of chicken, another sage leaf and a second square of bread, and finishing with a final piece of chicken. Repeat this process for all 8 skewers.

Mix together the garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper with the Spanish olive oil, and brush liberally over the brochettes. Leave to marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat a large griddle, frying pan, grill or barbecue. Sear the chicken for 15 minutes turning every 5 minutes.
