Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch cubes), 1/2 cup mango chutney, 1/2 cup yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes and 1/4 cup red onion slices. Brush skewers with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, rotating occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F) and the tomatoes are charred and softened.
  4. Step 4: Serve with 1.5 cups of cilantro-lime rice (made by cooking 1 cup uncooked rice with 2 cups water, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 tbsp lime juice) and a side of naan.
