Learn how to make delicious Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kabobs. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

If you’re looking to switch things up, you can substitute tofu for chicken to make it vegetarian, or add some zucchini for extra color and flavor. The marinade is quite versatile, so feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs and spices.

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. This marinade is where the magic begins, infusing the chicken with a rich, savory flavor.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill, turning every 3-4 minutes, for a total of 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
  6. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite tender and flavorful.

Grilling with family is one of my fondest memories, and these kabobs always remind me of those joyful times. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your skewers, adding your personal touch to make them uniquely yours.
