Introduction

Fire up the grill for a taste of the tropics with these Grilled Chicken and Pineapple Skewers! This colorful and flavorful recipe combines tender marinated chicken and sweet pineapple, creating a delightful dish perfect for warm-weather gatherings or a fun family meal.

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 cup pineapple chunks

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

• ½ red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• ¼ cup pineapple juice

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

• Salt and pepper, to taste

  
  

Cooking Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.

   
   

2. Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

   
   

3. Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350°F/175°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

   
   

4. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.

   
   

5. Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

   
   

6. Serve warm, either as whole skewers or with the chicken and vegetables removed from the skewers and arranged on a platter.

Cooking Tips

• If using canned pineapple, reserve some of the juice for the marinade.

  
  

• Be sure to cut the chicken and vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

  
  

• For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with tofu or your favorite plant-based meat alternative.
