Description
BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs are a delicious and easy 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 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, drained
- 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
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes, barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating between each ingredient.
- 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. The internal temperature 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 for 1-2 hours before assembling the kabobs.
- Feel free to substitute the vegetables with your favorites, such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms, for a personalized touch.
