Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 whole pineapple
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 whole green bell pepper
• 1 whole red onion
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 10 pieces wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into 1-inch chunks.

Step 3

Wash and chop the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares.

Step 4

Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks, approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 6

Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade, coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 7

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 8

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Assemble the skewers by alternating chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion pieces until all ingredients are used.

Step 10

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 11

Serve the skewers immediately, either on their own or over rice, for a complete meal.
