Pineapple chicken kabobs are a delightful combination of tender marinated chicken, juicy pineapple, and colorful vegetables, grilled to perfection for a savory-sweet experience.

Ingredients

  1. 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
    1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
    1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    3 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 tablespoon honey
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    Skewers (wooden or metal)

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

  1. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).
  2. While marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add more fruit: Include other tropical fruits like mango, peaches, or strawberries for variety.
  • Spicy kick: Add red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce for heat.
  • Vegetarian option: Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh, and add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on the grill or in a skillet.
  • Oven method: Cook in a preheated 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes if you don’t have a grill.
