Description
Simple grilled chicken and pineapple skewers with a sweet and savory glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and garlic to make the glaze. Set aside half of the glaze for basting.
- Place the chicken cubes in a bowl and pour half of the reserved glaze over them. Toss to coat and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Thread the chicken, pineapple chunks, and red bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- Place the kabobs on the grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the kabobs frequently with the remaining reserved glaze.
- Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer a richer flavor.
- If you do not have a grill, you can bake these at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, brushing with glaze halfway through.
