Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts
- 3 cups pineapple, cubed
- 2 pieces red bell pepper, cubed
- 2 pieces green bell pepper, cubed
- 1 large red onion, cubed
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. If using metal skewers, this step is not necessary.
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Cube the pineapple into similar-sized chunks.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Begin assembling the kabobs by threading the chicken, pineapple, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating as you go until all ingredients are used.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the kabobs warm with your choice of sides, such as rice or salad. Enjoy!
