Equipment
- Wooden Grilling Skewers Fantastic for grilling any kebob or skewer recipe.
- Grilling Tongs These OXO grilling tongs are fantastic for anything coming off the grill!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
- 2 cups pineapple cut into 1" cubes (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup red onion cut into 1" pieces
- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce divided
Instructions
- Approximately 30 minutes before cooking, soak wooden skewers in water. (If using metal skewers, skip this step.)
- In a medium bowl, coat the chicken breast pieces with 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce. Set aside the remaining 1/4 cup of sauce for brushing later. Place the pineapple and onions in separate bowls, which is helpful for assembling the skewers.
- To assemble the skewers alternate pieces of chicken with the pineapple and onion chunks. (see post photos for additional assembly tips.)
- When ready to cook, preheat your outdoor charcoal or gas grill. (You can also use an indoor grill pan.) To help your skewers not stick to the grill grates, spray on some non-stick grilling spray prior to adding the skewers to the grill. Once the grill reaches 400 degrees, add the skewers. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Brush with the remaining 1/4 c. of sauce after turning.
- Remove from grill and serve skewers individually, or with pieces removed from skewers. Enjoy right away.
