Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Yields 2 servings. 

Ingredients:

¼ cup soy sauce

2 oz canned pineapple juice

¼ cup light coconut milk

2 tablespoons honey

2 garlic cloves, minced 

1 tablespoon minced ginger

½ teaspoon sesame oil

2 scallions, chopped

1 lb fresh pineapple, cut into bite-sized pieces 

4 raw boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized chunks

Kabob skewers – if using wooden skewers you should soak them in water for about 30 minutes before use.

Instructions:

1. For the marinade, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, coconut milk, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and scallions and mix thoroughly. Pour marinade into a gallon Ziploc bag and add chicken. Seal bag and shake to coat chicken in the marinade. 

Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinade for at least 4 hours up to 12 hours.

Pre-heat the grill until hot. Make skewers of chicken and pineapple.

Place the skewers directly on the grill cooking for about 5-6 minutes and then flipping them and continuing to cook until chicken is cooked through.

  

Top the skewers with more chopped scallions.
