We had VERY ripe mangoes so they got a little burnt and didn't taste the best...BUT this would have been delicious with the right mangoes hahaha. We made this with cilantro pineapple rice :)
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 spicy things!)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
3–4 ripe but firm *large* mango, 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, 6-10 minutes. Serve immediately.
