Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 zucchini
- 1 red onion
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks (approximately 1.5-inch pieces) and set aside in a large bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken chunks and mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into similar bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches each). Drain the pineapple chunks if using canned pineapple.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and assemble the shish kebabs. Thread alternating pieces of chicken, bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and pineapple onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with additional teriyaki sauce for extra flavor and a glossy glaze.
Remove the shish kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the teriyaki shish kebabs warm alongside steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
