Ingredients
- 1.5–2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
- 3–4 bell peppers cut into chunks
- 1 large red onion cut into chunks
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 3 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 fresh pineapple cut into 1 to 1.5-inch chunks
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch pieces and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey (or brown sugar), sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger.
- Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.
- Cut bell peppers, red onion, and fresh pineapple into chunks.
- Assemble skewers by alternating chicken, pineapple, and vegetables.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
- Grill kabobs for 4-6 minutes per side, until chicken reaches 165°F.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours.
- Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- You can bake the kabobs at 400°F for 25-30 minutes if grilling isn’t an option.
- Try serving with lemon rice, grilled potatoes, or teriyaki sauce for extra taste.
