Thread the chicken on to the skewers, leaving a slight gap between each piece. Place the skewered chicken in the prepared grill pan and cook approx 10cm (4 inches) below the element for 5 minutes. Baste generously with some of the melted butter, reduce heat slightly and cook for a further 5 minutes. Turn the skewers over nad brush with the remaining butter. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then remove the chicken from the skewers and place in a serving dish. Garnish with the onion, lemon, tomatoes and chilli. Converted by MC_Buster.
