CHICKEN SHISH KABOB WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Chicken Shish Kabob With Pineapple Sauce image

This is one of our family's favorite recipes. It can be used with chicken or pork. The marinade is a must--the longer the better! We prefer it with red, orange, or yellow bell peppers, but the original recipe calls for green bell peppers. The sauce is especially tasty too! It's similar to a sweet and sour sauce.
