1. Heat soy and peanut butter in a pot, once it’s melded together leave to cool completely.

2. Pour marinade over chicken and leave for up to 24 hours.

3. Bake chicken for 15-20mins or until cooked.

4. Thread onto skewers and serve.

Goats Cheese & Red onion Vol au Vents

Hardly a recipe required as it’s so straight forward, I use milk chocolate for the marshmallows and Green & Black’s white chocolate for the strawberries.
