Today’s Culinary Delight: Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers

I’m excited to share this unique recipe for Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers that I recently created. The combination of sweet mango, spicy jalapeños, and tender chicken creates a flavor profile that is sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 500g chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 jalapeños, diced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Skewers

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill
  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board

I start by marinating the chicken breast cubes in a mixture of diced mango, jalapeños, lime juice, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. I let the flavors blend together in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to enhance the taste.

Once the chicken has marinated, I thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with extra mango and jalapeño pieces for a burst of flavor in every bite.

I preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char on the outside.

The end result is tender, juicy chicken with a sweet and spicy kick from the mango and jalapeños. The cumin and paprika add a warm depth of flavor, while the lime juice brightens up the dish.

Approximate total weight of the cooked dish: 800g
Approximate number of servings: 4
Average weight of one serving: 200g
Approximate calorie count per serving: 250 calories

One unique tip for this recipe is to brush the skewers with a mixture of honey and lime juice during grilling to add an extra layer of sweetness and tanginess to the dish.

I encourage you to try these Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers for your next cookout or weeknight meal. Feel free to customize the spice level to suit your taste preferences and make this dish your own. Enjoy!
