Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
- 3 tbsp. lime juice
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. white rum
- 2 tsp agave syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium red onions
- Lime wedges for serving
Directions
-
Preheat grill to medium-high.
-
Combine mint, lime juice, oil, rum, agave, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper in a mini food processor. Pulse until well incorporated, about 15 seconds. Reserve 2 tbsp. for serving; pour the rest into a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
-
Cut onions into 1-inch rounds, then into quarters. Thread the onions and chicken onto separate skewers.
-
Grill the chicken for 8 minutes. Turn and brush with the leftover marinade and grill until cooked through, about 8 minutes more. Grill the onions, turning occasionally, until slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side.
-
Sprinkle the chicken and onions with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt and drizzle with the reserved 2 tbsp. marinade. Serve with lime wedges and more mint.
