Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb chicken breast cubes with 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss thoroughly to coat and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by whisking together 1/2 cup mango puree, 2 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, and 1 tbsp lime juice in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes evenly onto the 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the spicy mango glaze during the last 2 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 5: Remove the skewers from the grill, let rest for 3 minutes, then serve hot with any remaining glaze drizzled over.
