Mango Jerk Chicken Kabobs


I was browsing food blogs recently and happened upon a Jerk mango chicken kabobs.  I thought, I have all those ingredients!, but when I went back to find the actual recipe I couldn't find the blog so I had to make up my own.

If you are reading this post and it looks an awful lot like your Jerk mango chicken kabobs let me know and I'll link this post to yours and thank you very much for the idea!

I used some Jerk seasoning I had from Penzeys on hand.  Listen to the ingredient blend:

Hand-mixed from: ginger, brown sugar, sweet chili, garlic, paprika, allspice, lemon grass, thyme, ground Grenadian nutmeg, black pepper, cumin, red pepper and jalapeƱo.


How good does that sound?! I must admit it was really good.  Even Chris, who doesn't like meat and fruit, ate it and seemed to really like it. 

 
Mango Jerk Chicken Kabobs
Altered from someone's blog I can't find again

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, I used Springer Mountain Farms organic, humanely raised, cut into bite size pieces
2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 red onion, cut into chunks
6 baby Bella mushrooms
Jerk seasoning, to taste, I used Penzeys Jerk Chicken and Fish seasoning
Kosher salt, to taste
Cooking spray for grill

Directions

1. Preheat grill to medium high.

2. Thread alternating pieces of all ingredients onto metal skewers.
**Note: If using wooden, soak the skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

3. Spray with cooking spray.

4. Season chicken, veggies and mango with seasoning and salt.

5. Grill 5 minutes per side (top and bottom) or until chicken is cooked through.
