  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (any color)
– 1 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus more for basting)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Skewers (wooden or metal)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create delicious BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs:

1. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2. Cut the Chicken: Dice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
3. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken with BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is marinating, cut the bell pepper and onion into 1-inch pieces, and cube the pineapple.
5. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating between each ingredient for a colorful presentation.
6. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.
7. Grill the Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. Brush with additional BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve: Arrange the kabobs on a platter, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
