Ingredients
For the skewers:
- 2 lbs chicken tenderloin cut into large chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 red pepper seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 red onion peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 pineapple cut into chunks, whole, fresh
for the homemade teriyaki sauce:
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat outdoor grill, whether gas or charcoal.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for a few hours prior, if using wooden skewers. *This is not a part of the recipe total time.*
- Slide chicken, peppers, onion and pineapple onto the skewers, alternating as you go. Set aside.
- For the homemade teriyaki sauce, measure all ingredients into a small pot. Whisk together and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to simmer gently until sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
- Place skewers onto hot grill and baste with sauce. Continue cooking and basting as you go until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Serve skewers over brown rice.
- **If you want to use the remaining teriyaki sauce over the cooked skewers, place pot back on the heat and bring back up to a bubble to kill any potential germs from basting raw chicken.
