Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, diced jalapeno, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
~10 min - 2
While chicken marinates, prepare the corn salsa. In a medium bowl, combine corn kernels, diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado. If desired, you can add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt to the salsa.
~5 min - 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
~5 min - 4
Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
~12 min - 5
Serve the grilled chicken skewers immediately with the fresh corn salsa on the side.
Tips
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade or a dash of hot sauce to the corn salsa.
