Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 medium pineapple
  • 1 medium green pepper(s)
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper(s)
  • 1 large onion(s), spanish
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice, or orange juice
  • 3 medium garlic clove(s), minced
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 sprays cooking spray
  • 2 cup cooked white rice, kept hot

Directions

  1. Cut each chicken breast, pineapple, pepper and onion into approximately twenty-four 1-inch-thick pieces. Combine chicken, pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce and oil in a large nonmetallic bowl; marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

  2. Preheat grill. Lightly coat vegetables with cooking spray. Thread 2 pieces of pepper, pineapple, chicken and onion onto each of 8 skewers. Brush with marinade. (Note: If using wooden skewers, soak in water to prevent charring.)

  3. Grill over medium-hot coals until chicken is completely cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes, turning kebabs every 2 minutes so they’re cooked evenly on all sides. Yields 2 kebabs and 1/2 cup rice per serving.
