Delicious Chicken and Pineapple Skewers Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 pound chicken breast (cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 8 skewers wooden or metal (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, salt, and lime juice.

    Allow the marinade to sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Add chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble Skewers

    Thread marinated chicken and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers.

    Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Grill Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Serve

    Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

    Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for added flavor.
