Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast cut into 1 and 1/2 inch cubes, boneless skinless
- 4 bell pepper red, green, yellow, and orange, seeded and cut into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces
- jalapeno pepper sliced into 1 and 1/2 inch slices, or other hot peppers; optional
- 1 red onion cut into 1 and 1/2 inch pieces, large
- 1 pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into 1 and 1/2 inch chunks, small
sauce
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice canned is fine
- 2 Tbsp tamari soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 Tbsp plum sauce or make your own plum sauce!, substitute plum jam
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2-4 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Thread your skewers, alternating chicken, onions, peppers, and pineapple.
- To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a sauce pan and stir well. Bring to a boil, stirring often. The sauce will thicken as it comes to a boil. Let it boil gently, stirring constantly, for a minute. Remove from heat and taste to see if you'd like to adjust the ingredients in any way. Set aside, or let cool and refrigerate if you're making in advance.
- Divide the sauce into two portions, and save one half for serving with the cooked skewers. Use the other half to brush each skewer on both sides before grilling.
- Grill the skewers over high heat for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is done through (it should register 160F on an instant read thermometer.) Brush with more sauce while cooking if you like.
- Heat the reserved sauce and brush the skewers with extra sauce just before serving. Provide any extra sauce on the side.
Notes
- I like to serve these skewers with Coconut Rice, recipe HERE
