Sizzling Pineapple Chicken Kabobs: A Tropical Twist on Your Grill

Learn how to make delicious Pineapple Chicken Kabobs. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the ingredients for these kabobs is as easy as pie. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

If you find yourself without fresh pineapple, canned pineapple chunks work just as well. And for those who prefer a bit more heat, a dash of crushed red pepper flakes in the marinade can add a nice kick.

Instructions

Ready to get cooking? Follow these steps:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. This marinade will give your chicken that irresistible flavor.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you have the time. This step infuses the chicken with flavor, making it juicy and tender.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
  5. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  6. Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.

Remember, the key to perfect kabobs is not to overcrowd the grill. Give them space to cook evenly, and you’ll be rewarded with beautifully charred, succulent bites.
