Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts, skinned and boned, about 750

  • 6 bell peppers, preferably a mix of colours

  • 1/2 cup apricot-and-ginger or mango chutney

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Place in a bowl and set aside. Core and seed peppers and cut into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Set aside in a separate bowl. Puree chutney in a food processor with soy sauce, sugar and oil until smooth. Stir with chicken until coated. Use right away or refrigerate, covered, for up to 24 hours.

  • Before assembling skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Stick 3 pieces of chicken, alternating with pieces of pepper, on each skewer.

  • When ready to cook, preheat barbecue and grease grill or preheat oven broiler. Barbecue kabobs for 7 to 8 minutes, turning often. Broil kabobs on a wire rack in a shallow-sided baking sheet, set on an oven rack in centre of oven, about 8 inches from broiler. Broil, turning partway through, about 15 minutes, until chicken feels springy.
