How to make teriyaki chicken pineapple skewers
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 red onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces, pineapple chunks, and red onion slices onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the ingredients.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapple is caramelized, with nice grill marks.
- Baste with Sauce: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with additional teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
