- 3 cups pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil grates to avoid sticking.
- Thread marinated chicken and pineapple alternately onto soaked skewers.
- Grill kabobs for about 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and has lovely grill marks.
- Let kabobs rest for about 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives or green onion.
