Chicken Pineapple Kabobs

Ingredients

Marinade:

1/3 cup ketchup low sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup orange or pineapple juice

4 Tbsp olive oil divided, plus more for brushing grill

1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar

3-4 garlic cloves minced

1 Tbsp minced ginger

1 tsp sesame oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Kebabs:

1 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped into 1 1/4-inch cube

3 cups fresh cubed pineapple about 3/4 of 3 lb pineapple

1 1/2 large red peppers diced into 1 1/4-inch piece

1 large red onion diced into 1 1/4-inch piece

Instructions

Soak 10 wooden skewer sticks in the water for about 1 hour.

In a large mixing bowl, add all marinade ingredients. Whisk until well combined.

Place the chicken breast into a large Ziploc bag or in an air-tight container. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade for brushing and pour the rest over the chicken.

Seal the bag and gently move the chicken around until evenly coated. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least an hour.

Meanwhile cut the pineapple, pepper, and onion into cubes. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the veggies.

Season with some salt and pepper, toss until well coated. Thread the chicken, cubed pineapple, red peppers, and onion onto the skewers.

Brush the grill with some oil and preheat over medium-high heat. Place the skewers onto the preheated grill.

Brush the skewers with reserved marinade and grill for 5 minutes, then flip and brush again with the marinade. Cook for another 5-7 minutes more or until chicken is cooked through.

Serve warm with the leftover marinade.
