Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Pineapple
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
Sauce and Skewers
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- Wooden skewers, soaked for 30 minutes
Instructions
- Prepare the skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Thread ingredients: Alternate threading the cubed chicken breast and pineapple chunks onto the soaked skewers until all pieces are used.
- Preheat grill: Heat your grill to medium heat, ensuring it’s properly oiled to avoid sticking.
- Grill skewers: Place the assembled skewers on the grill over medium heat. Brush them generously with teriyaki sauce as they cook.
- Cook thoroughly: Grill for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with more teriyaki sauce, until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a nice glaze.
- Serve: Remove from grill and let rest briefly before serving hot alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- You can customize by adding bell peppers or onions between chicken and pineapple for extra flavor and color.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking or drying out the chicken.
