Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth marinade that will infuse the chicken and pineapple with flavor.
- Marinate the Chicken and Pineapple: Add the cubed chicken breast and pineapple chunks to the marinade. Stir to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to tenderize.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, preparing it for cooking the kebabs and achieving a perfect sear and smoky flavor.
- Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks alternately onto skewers, making sure to leave space between pieces for even cooking.
- Grill the Kebabs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to cook all sides evenly, until the chicken is fully cooked through and juices run clear.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling prevents them from burning.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Serve with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- For extra flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.
