Apricot & Orange Chicken

Serves 4-6
6 wooden sosatie sticks
1 Tbs Zola’s Feasts Flavourbomb Spice Mix
1/2 cup fruit chutney
Chopped chilli, to taste
Salt and pepper
4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
18 Turkish dried apricots
Instructions
Mix together spice, chutney, chilli, salt and pepper.
Add the chicken and mix well to combine.
