Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. finely grated lime peel
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tsp. ground chili powder
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 lb. raw chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tsp. raw honey
  • 2 medium mangoes peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium orange bell pepper cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium red onions (or sweet onion), cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Combine lime peel, lime juice, oil, garlic, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; whisk to blend. Set aside.
  2. Place chicken in glass dish. Pour half of marinade over the top; toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to 4 hours.
  3. Stir honey into remaining marinade. Set aside.
  4. Place a piece of chicken, mango, bell pepper, and onion (if desired) onto a skewer. Repeat twice, so the skewer has three pieces of each ingredient. Repeat with seven remaining skewers. Discard marinade that contained chicken.
  5. Brush skewers with reserved honey marinade mixture.
  6. Grill or broil skewers for 6 to 8 minutes, turning every 2 minutes and brushing with honey marinade, or until mango is softened and chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
