Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp jerk seasoning, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb chicken breast cubes and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes and 1 large mango cubes alternately onto 6 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 3: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred, and mango is caramelized and tender. Serve immediately.
