Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Wooden or metal skewers
Mango Salsa Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mango salsa by combining the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir gently and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the chicken and veggies.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the chicken kabobs with the fresh mango salsa on the side. Enjoy your flavorful meal!
