Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts chunked
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and chunked
- 1 yellow bell pepper seeded and chunked
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and chunked
- 1 orange bell pepper seeded and chunked
- 1 small red onion peeled and chunked
- 1/2 pineapple cored and chunked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Soaked wooden or metal skewers
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- Sprinkle minced cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl add chunked chicken breast, bell peppers, red onion, olive oil, pineapple, chili powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper.
- Stir to combine.
- Thread the vegetables and meat equally onto the skewers. I like to have 3 chunks of meat per skewer but make sure to leave 1-1/2 to 2 inches on each side of the skewer so they are easy to turn on the grill.
- Add skewers to the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side.
- After 10 minutes start glazing the kebabs with bbq sauce and let it caramelize while the chicken continues to cook.
- Once the kebabs are full cooked sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
- * Depending on the size of your chunks of chicken you get an average of 8 skewers.
