Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 0.5 cup store-bought or homemade mango chutney
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into large 1-inch pieces, ensuring they are similar in size to the chicken cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mango chutney, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients to create a colorful pattern.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on the edges.
Brush the kabobs with any remaining marinade during the last few minutes of grilling, ensuring a flavorful glaze.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with rice, a fresh salad, or enjoy on their own!
