Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 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. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag and reserve ½ cup of marinade for later. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium heat (400°F / 200°C) while soaking wooden skewers in water.
  4. Toss diced onion, green peppers, and cubed pineapple in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Assemble the kebabs by threading chicken pieces alternately with vegetables onto soaked skewers.
  6. Grill kebabs for about 10 minutes total, basting with reserved marinade halfway through cooking until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
