For the kabobs

- 1 cup Bell Peppers Use any color you like.
- 1 medium Red Onion Alternatives include sweet onions or zucchini.
For the marinade
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Coconut aminos can be used as a gluten-free substitute.

Additional items
- Wooden or Metal skewers Skewers Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger. Add bite-sized chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, chop your vegetables and pineapple into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
Assembly
- Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onions onto the skewers, alternating colors and textures.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
Consider adding red pepper flakes or jalapeños for a spicy kick. Serve with a refreshing side salad or steamed rice.
