Delicious Pineapple Chicken Kabobs Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into squares red or yellow
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into squares
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 skewers wooden or metal (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, black pepper, and salt. Add chicken cubes and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the Skewers

    Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.

    Don't overcrowd the skewers for even cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Make sure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the Kabobs

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

    Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F.
  5. Serve

    Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your choice of sides.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
