10. Add cherry tomato part way through when turning (optional)
11. Serve warm

* Add carrots at the start of marinading, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes or onions at the end of the marinade. This helps to ensure even cooking.

* These are very tender so will take a bit of extra cooking to go brown of crunchy

* If you want to reduce the marinade, you might like to add it over the chicken a few minutes before the end.
