Hey there friends! I just want to share with ya'll this amazing recipe. So last Saturday I was planning to cook chicken but I ran out of ideas on how should I cook it. Then I bumped into this recipe online and decided to give it a try, I'm still amazed on how delicious it turned out

Ingredients​

​

• 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari)
• 1/4 cup canned pineapple juice
• 3 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup cold water whisked
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 3-4 bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (colors of your choice)
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cups pineapple chunks
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (or more sesame oil)
• oil or grill cooking spray for grill grates

Instructions​

1. Create marinade* in a small sauce pan over medium heat by whisking together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Separately, whisk together cold water and corn starch until combined. Slowly stream cornstarch mixture into marinade. Whisk all together. Return to a simmer; allow to simmer, whisking occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until marinade thickens. Remove from heat. Set aside.
2. Place diced chicken in a large plastic zip-top bag or bowl. Add half of marinade; toss to coat chicken. Seal/cover chicken; refrigerate at least 1 hour up to 4 hours.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat grill to medium heat.**
5. Alternately thread chicken, peppers, onion and pineapple onto skewers. Brush olive oil on vegetables.
6. Oil grill grate. Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Grill, turning every 4-5 minutes and basting with remaining marinade until chicken is done; about 15-20 minutes.
