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!
