Grilled Chicken Kabobs
This Chicken Kabob Recipe isn't the one your dad made growing up. Tender chicken and veggies are brushed with a sticky mango curry sauce for an Indian-inspired weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 (12-inch) Wood or metal skewers
For the Sauce:
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ cup mango nectar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or more, if you want it spicy
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
For the Chicken Kabobs:
- 1 ½ pounds chicken tenderloins or breasts cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large red onion cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- If using wood skewers, place skewers in large dish and cover with water. Let stand 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk garlic, mango nectar, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, cornstarch, curry powder, cumin and salt until well combined. Heat to boiling over medium high heat; boil 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Let cool while you assemble the kabobs.
- Make the Kabobs: Preheat grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Thread chicken, bell peppers and onion onto skewers.
- Transfer skewers to grill. Cook, turning frequently, 18 to 20 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F and vegetables are tender, turning every 4 to 5 minutes and basting with the Sauce halfway through cooking and once more right before the end of cooking time.
- Sprinkle kabobs with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with any remaining Sauce.
