Grilled Chicken and Mango Kabobs
Succulent chunks of chicken and colourful skewers of fruit and vegetables make a pretty plate. Setting part of the marinade aside for basting the chicken ensures that you don't transfer raw chicken juices to the cooked food.

1 tsp (5 mL) grated lime rind
1/4 cup (50 mL) lime juice
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp (10 mL) chili powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 lb (500 g) total
2 tsp (10 mL) liquid honey
2 mangoes
1 sweet red pepper
1 small red or sweet onion, cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks
Preparation:
In small bowl, whisk together lime rind and juice, oil, garlic, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper.
Cut chicken into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes; place in separate bowl. Pour half of the marinade over top and toss to coat; let stand for 20 minutes. Stir honey into remaining marinade; set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate separately for up to 4 hours.)
Meanwhile, cut off mango flesh from each side of pit. Cut grid pattern of 3/4-inch (2 cm) squares in flesh of each side down to (but not through) skin. Gently push skin to turn inside out; cut off flesh. Chop any flesh left on pit.
Core, seed and cut red pepper into 3/4-inch (2 cm) pieces. Onto each of 4 long or 8 short skewers, alternately thread mango and red pepper pieces; brush with half of the reserved honey marinade.
Alternately thread chicken and 2 or 3 onion pieces onto each of 4 more long or 8 short skewers. Discard marinade used for chicken. Place kabobs on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning and basting chicken once with remaining honey marinade, until fruit is softened and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes.
