Method
- Use a small, sharp knife to remove the bones from the chicken thighs.
- Slash through the skin of the chicken
- Beat the cream cheese to soften it, then stir in the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and seasoning
- Divide the mixture between the chicken thighs, wrapping the chicken around the filling.
- Place the stuffed chicken thighs in a shallow dish and spoon the marinade over
- Leave to marinate for 2-3 hours.
- Thread the marinated chicken thighs on to skewers, using 2 skewers for 4 thighs, as the double skewers will help to prevent them spinning around when they’re cooking.
- Cook the chicken over a medium heat on the barbecue for about 15 minutes, turning them regularly, and brushing over any extra marinade
- Take care to fully heat through any marinade, as it will contain some raw meat juices
- Cook the chicken until the juices run clear when the flesh is pierced with the point of a knife
- Remove from the barbecue and serve immediately
