Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.5 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.75 cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 wooden or metal skewers soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  • Thread the chicken and vegetables alternately onto the prepared skewers. Aim for 3-4 pieces of chicken per skewer.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  • Place the kabobs on the hot grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • During the last 3-5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the kabobs with BBQ sauce on all sides, turning frequently, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
  • Remove kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

These kabobs are incredibly versatile! Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken and veggie mixture before grilling. Serve with rice, a fresh green salad, or grilled corn on the cob for a complete meal.
