Fruity Chicken Skewers & Noodles

This is a very appetising noodle dish which tasted sweet, tangy and slightly spicy. I pretty sure any fussy kids will be attracted to this noodle dish along with the tantalising grilled chicken skewers :D Moreover it is effortlessly in the preparation. While the chicken skewers are grilling, you can prepare the noodle and garnishing at the same time. No stir-frying of the noodle is required, just toss the blanched noodles with the prepared sauce (the same sauce which used to marinate the chicken). Therefore it is pretty fast to serve this on the table :D

Ingredient (8 skewers)

• 1 canned pineapple chunks, juice reserved
• 4 tbsp tomato ketchup

• 350gm boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

Method

1. Combine the pineapple juice, tomato ketchup, vinegar. Add some salt & black pepper to taste.
