SALSA:
1 1/4 pounds Roma tomatoes
1 medium onion, cut crosswise into 4 slices
1 large jalapeno chile
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1
Preheat broiler with a rack set about 4 in. from heat. Set tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning as needed, until blackened, 15 to 25 minutes; as done, transfer to a bowl and let cool.
2
Peel, stem, and seed chile. In a food processor, pulse vegetables (including blackened parts from tomatoes and onion) and their juices until chopped. Add remaining salsa ingredients and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.
3
Cut chicken into 1- to 1 1/2-in. chunks. In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp. oil, the cumin, salt, chopped cilantro, and chicken.
4
Heat a 12-in. frying pan (not nonstick) over high heat. Add remaining 1 tbsp. oil; swirl to coat. Cook chicken, stirring and turning once, until lightly browned but still moist, 5 minutes.
5
Stir cilantro leaves into chicken; transfer with a slotted spoon to a platter. Serve with salsa and skewers.
6
*Toast over medium heat until fragrant, 3 minutes.
7
Make ahead: Through step 4, up to 1 day, salsa and chicken chilled separately. Microwave salsa until room temperature (about 3 minutes) and chicken, stirring occasionally, until hot (about 4 minutes).
