Instructions
Assemble kabobs: Thread chicken, both peppers, onion and pineapple chunks alternately on skewers.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 2 small green peppers, 2 small red peppers, 1 red onion, 2 cups pineapple chunks
Marinate: Whisk together barbecue sauce, pineapple juice and soy sauce. Place the kabobs in a shallow dish and brush with about ⅓ of the marinade (make sure to spoon it out first and then brush it on, do not dip the dirty brush back into the fresh marinade). Marinate in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Grill: Place kabobs on a lightly oiled grill over medium heat. Grill for 12-15 minutes (or until chicken is done and vegetables are tender), turning often, and brushing with the remaining marinade.
Notes
Use big chunks so nothing falls apart, marinate for flavor, and turn often for even grilling. Leftovers keep for 3 days and make great wraps.
