Chicken Bites With Tomato Mint Salsa

1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 5

   Stir cilantro leaves into chicken; transfer with a slotted spoon to a platter. Serve with salsa and skewers.
