Pineapple Chicken Kabobs feature juicy marinated chicken, sweet pineapple, and colorful vegetables grilled to perfection for a delicious balance of savory and sweet flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and black pepper.
  3. Place chicken in a bowl or zip-top bag, pour marinade over, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C) and lightly oil the grates.
  5. Thread chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating pieces.
  6. Grill for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.
  • Fresh pineapple provides the best texture, but canned can be used if well drained.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness.
  • Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari can be substituted.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
