Description
BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make summer 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 bell pepper (red or green), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 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 cubes, barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add jalapeño slices to the skewers.
- You can also substitute shrimp for the chicken for a seafood twist.
- Serve with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
