- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
- Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken for a different protein option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
