Ingredients
6 tbsp olive oil
Zest of 1 lime
¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
1 tsp chili powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (double for more heat!)
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp sugar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3–4 large ripe (but firm) mangoes, peeled & cut into 1½-inch cubes
Instructions
Make Marinade: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime zest and juice, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and sugar.
Marinate Chicken: Add chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken and mango chunks alternately onto soaked wooden or metal skewers.
Grill: Cook on a preheated grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Serve: Garnish with extra lime wedges and a sprinkle of chili powder if desired.
