Ingredients
- 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast (about 2 large breasts), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 24 cubes)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple diced (about 24 pieces)
- 8 wooden skewers 6 inches each, soaked in water
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic about 1 clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
Instructions
- To make sauce: Combine ketchup, soy sauce, honey, orange juice, garlic and ginger; mix well. Separate into two bowls and set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Alternately thread three chicken cubes and three pineapple chunks on each skewer.
- Grill skewers 3-5 minutes on each side. Brush or spoon sauce from one bowl onto chicken and pineapple every other minute. Discard remaining sauce from first bowl.
- To prevent chicken from drying out, finish cooking to minimum internal temperature of 165 F in oven. Using clean brush or spoon, coat with sauce from remaining bowl before serving.
