Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey or brown sugar
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Instructions
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken chunks to the marinade, coating well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Thread marinated chicken, pineapple, and bell peppers onto skewers, alternating ingredients. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and caramelized. Baste with marinade during grilling if desired.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers prevents burning during grilling.
- Marinate chicken for maximum flavor infusion.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added presentation and flavor.
- For a healthier option, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
- Skewers can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
