Juicy grilled pineapple chicken kabobs made with tender marinated chicken, sweet pineapple chunks, and a flavorful tropical glaze, perfect for grilling season or easy family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 cups pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions, for garnish
- 8–10 skewers, soaked if wooden
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Add chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Thread chicken and pineapple chunks alternately onto skewers.
- Grill kabobs for 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F.
- Remove from grill, rest for 3 minutes, garnish with chives or green onions, and serve.
Notes
Do not marinate longer than 4 hours, as pineapple enzymes can overly soften the chicken. Soak wooden skewers to prevent burning.
