Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 whole pineapple
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 whole green bell pepper
- 1 whole red onion
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 10 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
Wash and chop the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares.
Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade, coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Assemble the skewers by alternating chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion pieces until all ingredients are used.
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Serve the skewers immediately, either on their own or over rice, for a complete meal.
