Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using.
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Add chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 8 hours for more flavor).
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Thread marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, and vegetables alternately onto skewers.
Grill kebabs for about 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Remove from grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for variation.
Fresh pineapple works best, but canned pineapple can be used if drained well.
Brush leftover marinade onto kebabs while grilling for extra flavor (only if marinade hasn’t touched raw chicken).
