Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh pineapple (cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1 piece red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 piece yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 medium red onion (cut into wedges)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 pieces metal or wooden skewers
- 6 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into 1-inch chunks and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
Place the chicken chunks in the marinade and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes (optional for enhanced flavor).
While the chicken marinates, cut the pineapple, bell peppers, and onion into 1-inch pieces and set them aside.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
Tear six large sheets of aluminum foil (approximately 12x18 inches each).
Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating ingredients to create a colorful mix.
Place one skewer on each aluminum foil sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the skewers.
Fold the foil over the skewers to seal the packets tightly.
Place the foil packets directly onto the preheated grill, close the lid, and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
Serve the grilled pineapple chicken kabobs straight from the foil packets for a fun and flavorful meal!
