Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 cups pineapple chunks
• 0.5 cup store-bought or homemade mango chutney
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into large 1-inch pieces, ensuring they are similar in size to the chicken cubes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mango chutney, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Thread the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients to create a colorful pattern.

Step 8

Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on the edges.

Step 9

Brush the kabobs with any remaining marinade during the last few minutes of grilling, ensuring a flavorful glaze.

Step 10

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with rice, a fresh salad, or enjoy on their own!
