Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
FOR THE SKEWERS
- 4 (1-pound) skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes
- 18-24 thick pineapple chunks (I used a fresh pineapple)
- 1-2 red or orange bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces
FOR THE MARINADE
- 3 tablespoons Star Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Star Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat your outdoor gas grill.
- Thread the kabobs. Alternately thread cubed chicken pieces, pineapple, and peppers on eight 6-inch skewers; set aside.
- Make the marinade. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water; whisk until thoroughly combined. Remove 1/4 cup of the sesame-soy marinade and set the rest aside.
- Coat the chicken. Brush the 1/4-cup marinade over kabobs.
- Grill. Reduce the heat on the gas grill to medium. Place kabobs on grill rack, directly over heat. Cover and grill for 12 to 14 minutes, or until chicken is tender and cooked through, turning once halfway through grilling.
- Serve. Remove kabobs from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Shake the reserved dressing and drizzle over kabobs or serve on the side.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers for 15 to 20 minutes in water before using.
- Store any remaining marinade in the fridge for up to a week.
