Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts Cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • 2 cups Fresh Pineapple Cut into cubes.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced.
For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce Or coconut aminos for soy-free.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Can substitute with honey or maple syrup.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Or lemon juice.
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust to taste.

Equipment

  • grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
  3. Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks, add to marinade and mix well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  4. Thread marinated chicken and pineapple onto skewers. Alternate pieces, leaving space for even cooking.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
  7. Remove from grill, allow to rest for a minute, and serve garnished with lime wedges.

Notes

Maximize marinade flavor by marinating overnight. Maintain grill temperature for even cooking and avoid sogginess by leaving gaps on skewers. Experiment with marinades to customize flavors.
