Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoon raw honey
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
- 2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in 1-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 small pineapple cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large red onion cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- Optional: lime wedges
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut aminos, honey, garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Reserve about 2 tablespoons to baste the chicken when it's done grilling.
- Season the pieces of chicken with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the cornstarch; stir well to coat each piece. Transfer to the bowl with the remaining marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes over the counter or for 2 hours in the fridge.
- Thread the marinated pieces of chicken together with pineapple and onion chunks onto skewers.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium heat and grill the chicken skewers until the meat is nicely charred and cooked through. Baste with the remaining 2 tablespoons of marinade.
- Serve with lime wedges and garnish with sesame seeds.

- Freeze: Remove the skewers, then freeze leftover chicken and onion in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. I do not recommend freezing the pineapple. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
