4 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
2-3 mangos, ripe but firm, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
In a bowl, mix together the oil, juice, zest, chili powder, pepper, salt and sugar. Put into a ziploc bag and add chicken and mangos. (Try to keep your mangos similar in size to the chicken for better cooking). Let marinate 2-4 hours.
If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Prepare grill (or indoor grill pan). Remove chicken from marinade. Alternate chicken and mango pieces on the skewers. Be sure not to squish them together too tightly. Put on hot grill and cook until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately. *I baked my skewers on a broiling pan with the heat at 375 for about 15 min. These are great served with lime-cilantro rice.
We then removed ours from the skewers and served it mixed with the rice. Very yummy!
