Ingredients
⅓ cup ketchup
⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup canned pineapple juice
2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1½-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 red onion, cut into chunks
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
Wooden or metal skewers (soak wood skewers in water if using)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, vinegar, and garlic to make the marinade.
Place cubed chicken in a resealable bag or container. Pour in half the marinade, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight). Reserve remaining marinade for basting.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Thread chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with reserved marinade, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving hot.
Notes
Use pork, shrimp, or tofu instead of chicken for variation.
Add crushed red pepper flakes or Sriracha to the marinade for heat.
Substitute mango or zucchini for a fresh twist.
Broil kebabs in the oven 5–6 inches from the heat if you don’t have a grill.
Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
