Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup canned pineapple juice
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing grill
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp minced ginger
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Kebabs:

  • 1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped into 1 1/4-inch cubes
  • 3 cups (heaping) fresh cubed pineapple (about 3/4 of 3 lb pineapple)
  • 1 1/2 large green peppers, diced into 1 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 large red onion, diced into 1 1/4-inch pieces

Instructions

  1. Mix Marinade: In a bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, pepper, and salt.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken in a bag, pour in marinade, seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Prepare Skewers: Preheat grill. Thread marinated chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onions onto skewers.
  4. Grill: Brush grill with oil, cook skewers for about 9 minutes, turning and basting with marinade.
  5. Serve: Grill until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and serve warm.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
  • For best results, use fresh pineapple instead of canned for superior flavor and texture.
