Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

¼ cup coconut aminos (soy-free seasoning sauce)
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chile-garlic paste, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each cut into 5 pieces
¼ cup pineapple juice
3 (24-inch) long metal skewers
¾ cup red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 ½ cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

Combine coconut aminos, orange juice, avocado oil, ginger, and chile-garlic paste in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Season marinade with salt and pepper and add chicken pieces. Gently squeeze the sides of the bag, coating all of the chicken with the marinade. Squeeze out as much air as possible, seal, and spread out chicken pieces in a single layer inside the bag.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, turning the bag a few times during that time.
Drain marinade into a small saucepan and add pineapple juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until marinade has reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, alternately thread each skewer with chicken, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and pineapple. Repeat until each skewer is filled.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Set skewers on the hot grill grate. Brush with reduced marinade, reduce heat to medium, close the lid, and grill 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brush with marinade reduction. Monitor for flare-ups, and move skewers as necessary to manage any flames. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Serve skewers over hot cooked rice.

Time 1h30m

Yield 15-20 skewers, 3-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts
2 cups Lawry teriyaki marinade with pineapple juice
whole fresh pineapple (sliced in to 2 inch pieces)
16 ounces baby portabella mushrooms

Steps:

Cut your chicken in to 2 inch chunks & put to the side.
Slice your cored fresh pineapple into 2 inch slices& put to the side.
Wipe off the mushrooms to clean them, (recommend not to wash them in water.).
In a large bowl, place all of the ingredients including the marinade, and mix together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for about 45 minutes.
Run bamboo skewers through water just a little bit to get them wet so they do not burn.
Place the chicken, pineapple, and mushrooms on the skewers in any order you want.
You will grill them at about 400 or so degrees (constantly turning over), when the chicken reaches 170 degrees inside, they are done!
Serves well next to a good macaroni salad!

Tips:

To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
To prevent the skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
For a more flavorful marinade, add a tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of garlic powder, and a teaspoon of ground black pepper to the olive oil and lemon juice mixture.
If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers. Just make sure to grease them well with oil to prevent the chicken and pineapple from sticking.
Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken pineapple skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for summer cookouts and parties.
