Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, chili flakes, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
~3 min - 3
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango salsa. Dice the mango, finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Combine in a small bowl.
~7 min - 5
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
~5 min - 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

Serve the grilled chicken skewers immediately with the fresh mango salsa.
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, lightly brush the skewers with the remaining marinade during the last few minutes of grilling (ensure it's heated through).
- If you don't have access to a grill, you can pan-fry the chicken skewers in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat until cooked.
