Delicious Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Skewers

These skewers feature marinated chunks of chicken paired with sweet pineapple, all grilled to caramelized perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from prep to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups fresh pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.
Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating between them.
Grill: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve: Remove from the grill and serve the skewers hot, optionally garnishing with additional teriyaki sauce or sesame seeds.
