Description

Delicious grilled chicken skewers marinated in a sweet and savory sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (chopped into 1-1/2-inch cubes)
  • 3 cups cubed pineapple
  • 2 large green peppers (diced into 1-1/2-inch pieces)
  • 1 red onion (diced into 1-1/2-inch pieces)

Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, olive oil, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a medium bowl.
  2. Place chicken in a one-gallon zip-top resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Meanwhile, soak 12 skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Thread bell pepper, red onion, pineapple, and chicken alternately 4-5 times per skewer.
  5. Grill over medium heat for 5 minutes, turn and cook for another 5 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165°F has been reached.
  6. Serve hot or cold and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to soak the skewers long enough to avoid burning.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
