Ingredients
For the Kabobs
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce adds savory depth
- 2 tablespoons honey provides sweetness
- 2 tablespoons olive oil adds moisture
- 2 cloves garlic, minced brings aromatic flavor
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger adds warmth
- to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cooking
- After marinating, skewer the chicken, alternating with pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion pieces onto the skewers.
- Place the skewers on the grill. Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden exterior.
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before grilling. Keep an eye on the kabobs while grilling to ensure even cooking. If using metal skewers, let them cool a bit before handling.
