Provided by Fresh Off The Grid

Categories Main Course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons minced ginger (note: Trader Joe's carries ginger paste that's perfect for this)
1 lime (juiced)
1 teaspoon salt
½ lb chicken (boneless, skinless thighs work best, cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 medium red onion (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
Pineapple wedges (cut into 1 inch cubes (see notes))

Steps:

Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl or ziplock bag.
Add the chicken to the marindae and stir to coat. Cover or seal the container, and let marinate for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours. If you're going to marinate for longer than and hour, place it back into your cooler.
In the meantime, fire up your grill or get your campfire going.
Build the kabobs by threading the chicken and vegetables onto your skewers. Brush with a bit of oil.
Grill the kabobs over medium-high to high heat, turning occasionally so they cook evenly until the chicken is cooked through - about 10 minutes total.
Remove from the grill and enjoy!

Tips:

To ensure your grilled chicken kabobs are cooked evenly, cut the chicken breasts into uniform pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate.
Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent them from burning.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs before grilling.
If you are using metal skewers, be sure to grease them lightly with oil before grilling. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Grill the kabobs over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally. The chicken should be cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve the grilled chicken kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken kabobs with pineapple are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for summer gatherings. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of marinades and dipping sauces to choose from, you can create a kabob that is sure to please everyone. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
