Description
BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and colorful vegetables, all grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wood or metal skewers
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, pineapple, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Thread the chicken, pineapple, and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F.
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, try marinating the chicken overnight for a deeper taste.
- You can substitute the pineapple with other fruits like peaches or mango for a different twist.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some jalapeño slices to the skewers.
