Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken Thighs Juicy and flavorful; substitute with breast for a leaner option
  • 2 cups Fresh Pineapple Chunks Sweet and caramelizes beautifully when grilled
  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper Adds a pop of color and sweetness
  • 1 medium Green Bell Pepper Brings an earthy flavor
  • 1 medium Red Onion Grills to a mild sweetness
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Offers umami depth and saltiness; tamari as alternative
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps the marinade cling to ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Provides sweetness for caramelization
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice Brightens the flavors
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Enhances the overall flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (grated) Adds warmth and a hint of spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a touch of heat
  • 10 pieces Wooden Skewers Soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling

Method

Preparation

  • Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor.
  • While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell peppers and red onion into chunks.

Cooking

  • After marinating, thread the chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion onto the soaked skewers in any order you like.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place the skewers on the grill for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Notes

Serve these colorful kabobs hot off the grill on a platter. They pair beautifully with a light salad or some fluffy rice. Feel free to mix up the vegetables; zucchini and cherry tomatoes work well too.
