Instructions
- Cut the chicken into thin strips. In a shallow bowl, combine a splash of olive oil, spices, and the chicken strips. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.

Let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the ingredients blend and soften. You can leave the mixture chunky or blend to a smoother consistency.
- Cut the red onion into cubes. Alternate threading chicken and red onion pieces onto the skewers. Grill the skewers on the barbecue or stovetop with a sprig of rosemary for additional flavor.
- Serve with baby potatoes for a complete meal.
