Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 15M
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1-11/4lb (500g) skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1 fresh red Thai chile pepper, finely chopped
- 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary, plus extra for garnish
- 4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
- handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
- finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 large firm ripe mangoes
- juice of 1 lime
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Soak 12 wooden skewers in cold water for 1 hour.
- Cut chicken into bite-size chunks. Combine the chicken, garlic, ginger, chile, chopped rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, lemon, and oil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, peel the mangoes, and cut in half. Cut each half lengthwise into thin slices. Put in a bowl, add the lime juice, and season with pepper. Stir gently to mix well, and set aside.
- Heat your grill until medium-hot, and brush with oil. Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Grill, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, and brush lightly with the marinade. Set the skewers aside for 15 minutes, and keep warm. To serve, divide the skewers among 4 plates, add the mango slices, and sprinkle with herbs.
