Mango Chicken Kabobs

Serves: 2 | Serving Size: 1/2 of dish (3 skewers)

This is a great dish to have on a beautiful summer day. You can sit outside, enjoy the sunshine while dinner grills. I have never had mango on a kabob before (I always used pineapple) but the mangos at the store were perfectly ripe, I couldn’t pass them up – and they did not disappoint. The mango was a perfect addition to all the vegetables and chicken. The marinade was very subtle on the chicken too. This is definitely a make again dish, enjoy!

Ingredients:

• For the marinade:
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoon orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• For the kabobs:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 medium red onion diced into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 mango – peeled and diced into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 4 bell peppers of your choice – ribbed and diced into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces

Directions:

1. In a gallon zip lock bag, combine all ingredients for marinade. Cut chicken breasts into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces, add to gallon zip lock and combine well. Marinate chicken in fridge until ready to use, up to 6 hours, recombine mixture every so often.
2. If using wooden skewers soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers so you have a variety of ingredients per skewer. Discard marinade.
3. Preheat grill for medium to high heat. Place skewers on grill and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, turning to cook on all sides until chicken registers 165 degrees.
