For the chicken skewers:

Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
Half a red onion, cut in quarters
Pinch of salt & pepper
Half a yellow capsicum, cut in sixths
Half a red capsicum, cut in sixths
For the tabbouleh:
1/3 cup buckwheat, rinsed and drained
Large handful parsley, roughly chopped
Large handful mint, roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Large handful cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp garlic
1 tap ginger
2 tbsp water
Sauce
For the hummus yoghurt:
1 tin chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
Juice of 2 lemons
½ teaspoon paprika
Half a clove of garlic, crushed
Methods
In a large bowl, mix juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, dried mixed herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken and coat evenly. Cover in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the wooden skewers by soaking them in water for 15 minutes.
For the tabbouleh, add buckwheat and 2/3 cup water to a saucepan and simmer on low-medium heat for 20 minutes or until cooked. Drain and rinse. Once cooled, add parsley, mint, cherry tomatoes, juice of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and mix.
For the hummus, add chickpeas, yoghurt, juice of 2 lemons, paprika and garlic to a food processor and blitz until smooth. To add extra crunch, you can garnish the hummus with a small handful of chickpeas coated in paprika and roast for 20 minutes at 220 degrees.
Once the chicken has marinated, thread chicken, capsicum and onion onto the skewers. Heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and cook the skewers for 5 minutes a side or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve chicken skewers immediately with hummus, tabbouleh and pita bread.
