Today’s Unique Recipe: Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I wanted to share a recipe that always puts me in a festive mood and brings back memories of warm summer nights: Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers. This colorful and flavor-packed dish is perfect for a backyard barbecue or a casual dinner with friends. It’s a fun twist on classic chicken skewers that will surely impress your guests!

Ingredients:

  • 500g chicken breast, cut into chunks
  • 2 ripe mangoes, cubed
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into squares
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill pan
  • skewers
  • mixing bowl
  • knife

To start, marinate the chicken chunks in a mixture of chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let the flavors meld together for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. While the chicken is marinating, soak the skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Assemble the skewers by alternating the marinated chicken, mango cubes, red bell pepper squares, and red onion chunks. Preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. The combination of juicy mango, tender chicken, and the hint of spiciness from the chili powder is a true flavor sensation.

One unique tip for this recipe is to serve the skewers with a side of coconut rice and a drizzle of mango salsa for an extra tropical touch. The sweetness of the mango salsa perfectly complements the spicy chicken skewers.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Chicken Skewers a try at your next gathering! Feel free to get creative and adjust the spice level or add your favorite veggies to make it your own. Enjoy!
