Description

These chicken kabobs offer a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors, making them an ideal choice for summer gatherings or a quick weeknight dinner. The chicken is marinated in a rich blend of Tamari, molasses, and lime, ensuring every bite is tender and flavorful. The real star, however, is the spicy mango sauce. Fresh mangoes are simmered with garlic, jalapeno, and rice wine vinegar, then blended into a coarse, aromatic puree that adds a bright, tangy kick to complement the savory chicken. The combination of smoky broiled chicken and the fresh, fruity heat of the sauce creates a memorable dining experience that is both exotic and comforting. Serve these skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs for an impressive yet simple meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1/4-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the Tamari, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, oil, lime juice, grated ginger, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, the red-pepper flakes, and salt.
  3. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat evenly in the marinade.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to penetrate.
  5. Meanwhile, soak 24 six-inch wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. To make the dipping sauce, peel and chop 1 mango and mince 1 clove of garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of jalapeno pepper.
  7. In a medium stainless-steel saucepan, combine the chopped mango, garlic, jalapeno, the remaining 3 teaspoons of sugar, and rice wine vinegar.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally.
  9. Cook until the mango is soft, about 15 minutes.
  10. Transfer the hot mango mixture to a food processor or blender and pulse briefly to create a coarse puree.
  11. Let the sauce cool to room temperature.
  12. Preheat the broiler in your oven.
  13. Drain the marinated chicken, discarding excess marinade.
  14. Thread 2 pieces of chicken onto each soaked skewer.
  15. Place the skewers on a baking sheet.
  16. Broil the chicken, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes total.
  17. Serve the hot chicken kabobs immediately with the spicy mango dipping sauce on the side.
