Ingredients
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs Cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper Cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper Cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 red onion Cut into 1 inch pieces
- 3 cups diced pineapple
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Whisk together ingredients for pineapple teriyaki sauce. Reserve half of the sauce. Pour the other half of the sauce over the chicken, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or longer.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using them so that they don't burn on the grill.
- Toss the bell pepper and onion in olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Thread the chicken, vegetables and pineapple onto the skewers in an alternating pattern. Be sure to leave a little space between each piece so they can cook evenly.
- Grill over high heat, 6-8 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked through. While cooking brush with the reserved pineapple teriyaki sauce.
