Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mango chutney
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15-20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango chutney, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the marinade is well mixed.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease the grill grates or a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the kebabs on the grill or on the prepared baking sheet. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
