Mango Habanero Chicken Skewers


Ingredients

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1–2 habanero peppers, finely minced (adjust to taste)

2 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp lime juice

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)

Instructions

Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lime juice, minced habanero, salt, and pepper. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the skewers:
Thread chicken cubes and mango chunks alternately onto the skewers.

Preheat the grill:
Heat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the skewers:
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and slightly charred.

Serve:
Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately with rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
