Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 2 cups pineapple chunks
• 1 cup mango chunks
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

Chop the red bell pepper into 1-inch squares and the red onion into similar-sized pieces. Set aside the pineapple and mango chunks.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 5

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Assemble the kebabs by threading the marinated chicken cubes, pineapple chunks, mango pieces, red bell pepper squares, and red onion pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful and balanced kebab.

Step 8

Grill the kebabs for 12–15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. Brush the kebabs with the leftover marinade during the first half of grilling, but discard any unused marinade afterward.

Step 9

Once the chicken is fully cooked and the fruits and vegetables are lightly charred, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2–3 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the tropical kebabs warm, garnished with fresh lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
