Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Sweet and sour sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken cubes. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the chicken, then toss to coat evenly.
Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces to match the size of the chicken cubes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or set up a broiler if you’re cooking indoors.
Thread the chicken cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Place the assembled kabobs onto a plate or tray and brush them generously with half of the sweet and sour sauce, reserving the other half for basting during cooking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved sweet and sour sauce. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve the Sweet Sour Chicken Kabobs hot with additional sweet and sour sauce on the side, if desired.
