Directions
-
Whisk together olive oil, pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken to bowl and stir to coat with the marinade. Let marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Heat up the grill.
-
Chop your pineapple and peppers. Make sure they are large enough to fit on the skewer.
-
Add the pineapple, peppers, and chicken to the skewers in any order you like, alternating between chicken, veg, and fruit. I like to have one piece of pineapple touching each piece of chicken to keep it moist. Try to divide the ingredients evenly among the eight skewers.
-
Right before you add your kabobs to the grill, rub the grates with some oil to make sure the kabobs don’t stick.
-
Add the kabobs and let them cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until they get a nice char on them. Flip a few times until total grilling time reaches the 15-18 minute range. Cut into the chicken to check if it is done.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
