Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider or white)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
- Toss the chicken pieces in half of the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion wedges alternately onto the skewers.
- Brush the kabobs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred, about 12-15 minutes.
- In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the remaining marinade over the kabobs for extra flavor.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Customize the vegetables according to your preference or what’s in season.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
