Hawaiian Inspired Chicken Kabobs

Sweet, tangy, and a little spicy!

Are you ready to transport your taste buds to the beautiful islands?

These sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy kabobs are a true summer treat, and the best part? They’re incredibly easy to make!

Just remember to plan ahead and allow time for marinating (at least 6-8 hours), because that’s where the magic happens!

With a blend of low-sugar ketchup, coconut aminos, pineapple juice, and hot sauce, these kabobs are packed with flavor and a hint of tropical paradise.

🌴 And don’t even get me started on the combination of juicy flavorful charred chicken, fresh pineapple, crunchy peppers, and sweet red onion – it’s truly the best combo!

So, grab your bamboo skewers and let’s get started on this little dinner adventure! And don’t forget to check out my homemade ketchup recipe for an extra special touch!

Let’s get grilling and bring a taste of the islands to our plates!

Make SURE you’re using a ripe, sweet pineapple for best results.

Again: Be sure to plan ahead to allow time to marinate (at least 6-8 hours) because that’s where these kabobs get their incredible flavor!

Homemade Ketchup Recipe

6 servings

Ingredients:

Marinade:

  • 1/2 cup low sugar ketchup
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos, Braggs liquid aminos, tamari, or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1-2 Tbsps hot sauce of your choice
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

Kabobs:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken or turkey thighs, or breasts, chopped into 1 1/4-inch cubes
  • 3 cups fresh pineapple, cubed
  • 3 Anaheim, green bell, or poblano peppers, cubed
  • 1 large red onion, cubed
  • bamboo skewers

Instructions:

To make your marinade, place all the marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until very smooth.

In a large bowl, pour your marinade over the cubed chicken and stir to combine. Cover and marinate overnight or 6-8 hours.

Place your bamboo skewers in a shallow plate with water and allow them to soak for a couple of hours. This will prevent them from burning.

Take your soaked bamboo skewers and thread the marinated chicken pieces together with pineapple, peppers, and red onion as shown. Discard the marinade.

Preheat a grill over medium heat and grill the chicken skewers for around 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.
Enjoy!
