Asian mango chicken kebab recipe:
asian mango chicken kebabs
Ingredients
for the chicken:
- 1 ½ lbs chicken breast sliced into 1-inch chunks
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsps lime juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 tsps sriracha
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried ground ginger
for everything else:
- wooden or metal kebab skewers
- 3 mangoes peeled, pitted, and sliced into ½ inch chunks
- 2 bell peppers cored, seeded, and cut into ½-1 inch chunks
- 1 red onion sliced into 1-inch chunks
- sweet chili garlic sauce and freshly minced cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Combine all “for the chicken ” ingredients in a large ziploc bag then shake to coat and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Also, if using wooden skewers, start soaking them now.
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat (400/450F-ish).
- Once the chicken is done marinating, thread the skewers with a piece of chicken, a piece of mango, 1-2 pieces of bell pepper, and a chunk of onion then repeat until all ingredients are skewered up.
- Place kabobs directly on the hot grill then cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until chicken is fully cooked. Alternatively, you could place all the ingredients on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400F for 20-30 minutes.
- Drizzle a little sweet chili garlic sauce over top of the grilled kebabs along with a sprinkle of freshly minced cilantro then enjoy!
