Peel mango and cut into 36 3/4″ (2 cm) cubes. On a cutting board, cut each chicken breast lengthwise into two thin pieces. Brush chicken breast halves on both sides with sesame oil and lightly dip in rub to coat evenly.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, about two to three minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut each chicken piece into six 1/2″ (1 cm) diagonal strips. Thread chicken strips onto bamboo skewers and place cube of mango on each end.
