MARINADE INGREDIENTS
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup canned pineapple juice
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: trim excess fat from chicken, then cut chicken breasts or thighs into 1 inch pieces.
- Prepare the marinade: in a large bowl combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in water while the chicken marinates.
- Prepare the vegetables and pineapple by cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Optionally - sprinkle the chicken with your favorite poultry rub.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the chicken, peppers, onions, and pineapple onto wood or metal skewers, alternating between each of the ingredients.
- Add kabobs to the pre-heated grill and grill for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees. Rotate the kabobs periodically so that all sides cook evenly.
- During the last 5 minutes, brush the kabobs with your favorite BBQ sauce.
