Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup mango chutney
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15-20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango chutney, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the marinade is well mixed.

Step 4

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 5

If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease the grill grates or a baking sheet with vegetable oil.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Place the kebabs on the grill or on the prepared baking sheet. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the kebabs from the grill or oven and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.
