Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors, cut into chunks)
- 1/2 cup red onion (cut into large pieces)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Add cubed chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Let marinate for at least one hour.
- 2. Prepare the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Alternate threading marinated chicken with pineapple and veggies onto the skewers.
- 3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
- 4. Grill the kebabs: Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- 5. Serve hot with fresh cilantro or lime wedges.
