Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 medium fresh pineapple
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces bamboo or metal skewers
Instructions
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 1-inch chunks.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch pieces.
Cut the red onion into wedges, separating the layers for easy skewering.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the other half of the marinade for basting. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
Thread the chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto the skewers, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
Grill or roast the kabobs for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, and brushing with the reserved marinade during cooking. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Hawaiian Kabobs hot and enjoy your tropical-inspired meal!
