Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl and let sit to combine flavors.
 
For the rub, combine olive oil, spices, garlic and shallots in a large mixing bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for thirty minutes or more. While the chicken is marinating, place skewers in water to soak.

 
Thread 4-6 pieces of chicken per skewer then cook on a grill pan over medium-high heat, turning frequently to avoid burning, for about 15 minutes or until juices run clear.
 
Serve 3 skewers per person with mango salsa alongside.
