Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken breasts Boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups Fresh pineapple Cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup Barbecue sauce Divided use if desired
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For the marinade
  • 1 large Red bell pepper Cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large Red onion Cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish
  • 12 each Wooden skewers Soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions
 

  • Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the 1.5 lbs of cubed poultry and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for roughly 375°F to 400°F.
  • Thread the marinated meat, 2 cups of fresh pineapple chunks, red bell pepper pieces, and red onion pieces alternately onto the soaked skewers. Leave a tiny bit of space between ingredients for proper heat circulation.
  • Place the kabobs on the hot grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and lightly charred.
  • Remove the kabobs from the grill, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
