Ingredients
  

For the Kabobs
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast Choose organic, firm pieces
  • 1 cup Fresh Pineapple Ripe fruit or well-drained frozen chunks
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Adds crunch; substitute with orange or yellow
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper Offers slight bitterness; zucchini or asparagus work
  • 1 Red Onion Delivers sweetness; yellow or white onions can substitute
For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce Low-sodium options reduce salt intake
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Extra virgin for the best flavor
  • 2 tbsp Honey Raw, unfiltered honey is best
  • 1 tbsp Grated Ginger Fresh is ideal; powdered can substitute
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh cloves preferred; garlic powder is a last resort

Equipment

  • grill
  • Wooden Skewers
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, olive oil, honey, ginger, and garlic.
  3. Add chicken to marinade, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 450°F.
  5. Assemble kabobs by threading chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers.
  6. Grill kabobs for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is golden-brown.
  7. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush kabobs with reserved marinade.
  8. Remove kabobs from grill, rest for a couple of minutes, then serve.
