Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 | boneless skinless chicken breasts |
| 6 | bell peppers |
| 1/2 | mango chutney |
| 2 | soy sauce |
| 1 | brown sugar |
| 1 | olive oil |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks, into a mixing bowl. Set aside for now.
-
Make the Chutney Mixture:
- In a food processor or blender, combine the mango chutney, soy sauce, brown sugar, and olive oil. Process or blend until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Pour the chutney mixture over the chicken chunks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
- Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour, or up to a maximum of 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare the Skewers:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to assembling the kebabs to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- Assemble the kebabs by alternating pieces of marinated chicken and bell peppers on the skewers, creating a colorful pattern.
-
Cooking Options:
- If using a barbecue grill, preheat it and grease the grill grates. Cook the kebabs over medium heat for about 8 minutes, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Alternatively, you can broil the kebabs in the oven. Preheat the broiler and place the assembled kebabs on a wire rack set over a shallow baking sheet. Position the rack in the center of the oven, about 8 inches from the broiler. Broil the kebabs, turning them halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and springy to the touch, approximately 15 minutes.
-
