1
In a medium bowl whisk the marinade ingredients.

Cut each courgette lengthwise in half, and then cut each half crosswise into 1 inch pieces.
4
Add the chicken thigh pieces and the courgette pieces to the bowl with the marinade and turn to coat them thoroughly.

If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat.
8
Meanwhile, prepare the rice.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the oil.

12
Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Pour in the broth, add the salt, and bring to a boil.

Keep warm.
17
Thread the chicken pieces and the courgette pieces alternately onto skewers.
18
Brush the cooking grates clean.
