Method
- Place the chicken in a bowl with half the coconut milk (reserving the other half for the dressing), the massaman paste, and season. Stir to coat evenly then leave to marinate for at least an hour or overnight.
- Divide the chicken between 4 large or 8 smaller skewers (soaked in water for 10 mins if wooden), then grill on a hot barbecue for 4-5 mins each side until golden, lightly charred and cooked through. Brush with extra marinade whilst they’re cooking.
- Cook the noodles to pack instruction then divide between four bowls and top with the all the rice noodle salad ingredients. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and the remaining half the coconut milk in a small bowl then pour over the bowls.
- Top with the chicken skewers and pour over the dressing.
- Tip: To cook on a griddle pan, heat 1 tbsp oil in the pan over a high heat. Push the chicken onto skewers and griddle for 15-18 mins turning regularly, until cooked through.
