Pineapple Chicken Kabobs
These kabobs are not only delicious but also easy to prepare. The combination of marinated chicken and fresh pineapple gives a tropical twist that everyone will love. Let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need and how to whip up these yummy skewers!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and stir until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water if using. This helps prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Once marinated, thread the chicken, pineapple, and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient for a colorful presentation.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of fluffy rice.
Enjoy these Pineapple Chicken Kabobs as a delightful summer meal or a fun dish for your next barbecue. They are sure to impress your family and friends with their vibrant colors and fantastic flavors!
