Description
Pineapple Grilled Chicken Kebabs are a tropical BBQ delight featuring marinated chicken, fresh pineapple, and colorful vegetables grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, try marinating the chicken overnight.
- You can substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
