If you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal to serve at your next barbecue, these grilled pineapple and chicken skewers are a great option. Not only are they packed with flavor, but they're also easy to make and can be customized to suit your preferences.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
To make the marinade, mix together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken, pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper to the bowl and toss to coat in the marinade.
Thread the chicken, pineapple, red onion, and red bell pepper onto skewers, alternating the ingredients as you go. If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
These grilled pineapple and chicken skewers are perfect served with a side of rice or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
