Today’s Culinary Creation: Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I am excited to share a vibrant and flavorful recipe with you all that is perfect for a summer barbecue or a cozy indoor meal. The combination of sweet mango, spicy jalapeño, and succulent chicken creates a beautiful balance of flavors that will surely impress your taste buds.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients (approximate weights):

  • 500g chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 ripe mangos, peeled and cubed
  • 1-2 jalapeños, diced (adjust according to spice preference)
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • Skewers
  • Grill or grill pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango, red onion, and jalapeño for skewering.

Thread the marinated chicken, mango, red onion, and jalapeño onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients for a colorful presentation. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the mango has caramelized slightly.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of grilled chicken and mango will make your mouth water!

This Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers recipe yields approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 250g. One serving is approximately 300 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to brush the skewers with a mixture of honey and lime juice before grilling for an extra layer of flavor and caramelization.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring these Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite vegetables or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
