Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups fresh pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium bell pepper any color, cut into 1-inch chunks

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the BBQ marinade ingredients until well combined.
- Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, red onion, and bell pepper onto the soaked skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Grill the kabobs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char.
- Brush with extra BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
These kabobs are also delicious baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
