Easy Kona Pineapple Chicken Kebabs
Ingredients
- 1 can 6 oz. pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 lime zest and juice only
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 piece 1 in. fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 package chicken breasts diced
- 1/2 fresh pineapple cut into 16 chunks
- 1 large red bell pepper seeded and cut into 16 (1 in.) chunks
- 4 metal skewers or 8 wooden skewers 12 in. soaked in water 30 minutes
Instructions
- In bowl, whisk pineapple juice, vegetable oil, lime juice and zest, sugar, ginger and red pepper flakes until sugar dissolves. Add diced chicken breast, cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
- Thread alternating pieces of chicken, pineapple and red bell pepper onto skewers. Discard remaining marinade.
- Heat lightly greased grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill kebabs 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until chicken feels firm to touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 165 F.
- Remove kebabs from grill, rest 2-3 minutes and serve.
Notes
TIP If using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes to keep skewers from burning on grill. If using metal skewers, remember chicken will cook faster because metal will conduct heat and cook chicken cubes from inside along with grill heat cooking chicken from outside.
