Ingredients

2 tablespoon Tamari or dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Molasses
1 tablespoon Cooking oil
2 teaspoon Lime juice
2 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
4 teaspoon Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Dried red-pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken

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.
