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
Scale
- 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 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 the barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.
- Thread the chicken, pineapple, and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
- Place the skewers on the preheated 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 extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the barbecue sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before threading onto the skewers.
- Try substituting the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
- You can also add other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
