Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kabobs are juicy, smoky skewers of marinated chicken, sweet pineapple, and colorful vegetables, grilled to perfection for a tropical-inspired meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Add chicken pieces to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Thread chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion alternately onto skewers.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Grill kabobs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C) and slightly charred.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges or fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

Use teriyaki sauce instead of soy-honey marinade for variety.Swap chicken with shrimp for a seafood version.Add extra veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.Spice it up with chili flakes or sriracha in the marinade.Serve over rice, couscous, quinoa, or salad for a complete meal.Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge; freeze cooked chicken and pineapple (off skewers) for up to 2 months.
