Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 medium red bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell peppers and red onion into pieces roughly the same size as the chicken cubes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade and glaze.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes with half of the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the chicken to soak up the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the chicken, pineapple chunks, red bell pepper pieces, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the kabobs with the remaining marinade to enhance the sweet BBQ flavor.
Remove kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of rice, salad, or grilled vegetables. Enjoy!
