Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size, and set aside.
Peel and cut the mangoes into cubes similar in size to the chicken pieces. Set aside.
Cut the red bell pepper and red onion into similarly sized chunks for even grilling.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Assemble the kabobs by threading chicken, mango, bell pepper, and onion alternately onto the skewers. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, then place the skewers on the grill.
Cook the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the kabobs warm with your choice of sides, such as rice or a fresh salad.
