INGREDIENTS:


     2 Tablespoons olive oil

     4 4-ounce chicken breast fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes

     ¼ melon, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (Chef Andres prefers seedless watermelon)

     8 plum tomatoes, sliced into 1-inch rounds

     1 Tablespoon lemon juice

     1 teaspoon lemon zest

     4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Chef Andres prefers Spanish)

     1 Tablespoon sherry vinegar

     Sea salt


METHOD:


Heat olive oil in a skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and saute until golden brown, about 7 minutes.


Place the melon cubes, tomato slices, and chicken on each skewer.


In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, half the lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, and vinegar to make the dressing.


Place the skewers on a serving plate and top with the dressing. Sprinkle with sea salt and the remaining lemon zest.
