Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- Zest of 1 lime
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice about 2-3 large limes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper double that if you like heat!
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3-4 ripe but firm *large* mangoes peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Instructions
- If you're using wooden/bamboo skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 20-30 minutes before you use them.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cayenne, salt and sugar. Place in a bowl, or zip-top bag and add the chicken and mangoes, stirring gently to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Prepare grill (or indoor grill pan) to medium heat.
- Remove the chicken and mangoes from the marinade and thread onto skewers, alternating the pieces and dividing them evenly.
- *When you're making any type of skewer, make sure not to smash everything together tightly. In order for the food to cook thoroughly and evenly, it needs a little room! The pieces threaded on should just barely touch each other.
- Arrange the skewers on the grill and cook, turning until the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F, 6-10 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Try this with our sweet and savory Lime-Cilantro Rice or Coconut Rice.
