Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast: Cubed into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce: High-quality for optimal flavor.
  • 1 cup Pineapple Chunks: Fresh or canned.
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper: Cut into cubes.
  • 1 Red Onion: Sliced into chunks.
  • Wooden Skewers: Soaked in water for 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. Cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and cut the red bell pepper and red onion into evenly sized cubes.
  2. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. Thread the chicken, pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating for a balanced mix.
  4. Marinate the kabobs in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  6. Brush the kabobs generously with reserved BBQ sauce and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning frequently until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken with shrimp or beef for different flavor profiles. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to the kabobs. For an extra kick, try using spicy BBQ sauces or citrus-based marinades.
