Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into 1 1/4-inch chunks
- 3 cups ripe pineapple, chopped (about 3/4 of a 3-pound fruit)
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1 1/4-inch chunks
- 1 1/2 big green bell peppers, chopped into 1 1/4-inch pieces
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (split up), plus extra to rub on grill
- 1/4 cup canned pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Sprinkle of salt, to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Instructions
- Mix ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Season with pepper and salt to taste.
- Put chicken cubes in a large zip-top bag, save 1/2 cup of marinade in the fridge for later, and pour the rest over the chicken. Seal the bag and mix well. Let it sit in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Soak 10 wooden skewers in cold water for 1 hour.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the cut pineapple, peppers, and red onion, and toss to coat. Season veggies with a little salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill to medium (400°F) and rub the grates with olive oil.
- Thread marinated chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and red onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating as you go until all chicken is used.
- Grill the skewers for 5 minutes, brush with half of the reserved marinade, flip them, and splash on the rest. Grill for another 4 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- Remove from heat and enjoy hot off the grill.
