Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 onion, cut into wedges (red or yellow)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Kabob skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- Prep the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup for basting.
- Soak Wooden Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine chicken pieces with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces for vibrant colors.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through and the edges are charred. Brush with reserved marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and serve hot. These kabobs pair well with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
