Appliances and Special Utensils

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

For the Marinade:
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup pineapple juice
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. Soak Wooden Skewers (if using): If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

  4. Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating them as you go.

  5. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  6. Grill the Kebabs: Place the assembled kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Use a basting brush to occasionally brush any remaining marinade over the kebabs while grilling.

  7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Pineapple Chicken Kebabs!
