Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients, up to the chicken, in a small food processor and process until smooth and well combined, scraping the sides down as necessary.

Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
- Freezing: You can freeze marinated chicken before grilling. Just ensure it's well sealed and used within three months.
- Pairing: Serve with a refreshing side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
- Variations: Try adding different fruits like mango or bell peppers for skewering to mix things up.
