Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 medium Fresh pineapple
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 skewers Wooden skewers (soaked for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.

Step 2

Core and peel the pineapple, then cut it into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the red and green bell peppers into 1-inch squares and set aside with the pineapple.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil to create the marinade.

Step 5

Pour half of the marinade over the chicken cubes, reserving the other half for basting. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat and brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Thread the chicken, pineapple, and bell peppers onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating the ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

Season the assembled kebabs with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Grill the kebabs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. Baste with the reserved marinade during the grilling process for extra flavor.

Step 10

Once the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature), remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the Hawaiian chicken kebabs hot, garnished with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired.
