Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 ripe mangoes, diced into 1-inch pieces

1/3 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, diced into 1-inch pieces

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger until well combined. Add the cut chicken pieces to the marinade and stir until every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

    Prepare the Skewers: If you are using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent them from burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

      Assemble the Bites: Retrieve the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Take the chicken pieces and thread them onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of mango and red bell pepper to create a colorful and flavorful presentation.

        Cook the Chicken Bites: Lightly brush your grill or grill pan with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side. During cooking, occasionally brush the skewers with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and displays beautiful grill marks.

          Prepare the Sauce: While the chicken is grilling, take the remaining reserved marinade and pour it into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside.

            Serve: Once the chicken bites are grilled to perfection, remove them carefully from the skewers and arrange them neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken bites and garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves for an extra touch of freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve the Sweet Chili Mango Chicken Bites warm as a delightful appetizer, a delicious snack, or over a bed of rice for a complete and satisfying meal!
