Instructions
- Place chicken in a gallon Ziplock bag and add the marinade, making sure to cover the chicken with the marinade. Remove any excess air and seal the bag. Let the chicken marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours. Do not marinate any longer as it can change the texture of the chicken.
- Remove chicken from marinade and thread the chicken and vegetables onto metal skewers. Start the skewer with a piece of chicken and continue alternating with the vegetables, pineapple and chicken until the skewer is full.
- Preheat the grill to 350°F, around medium-to-medium high heat. Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the chicken skewers to the grill. Turn the kabobs occasionally, cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant read meat thermometer. You can brush more marinade on the skewers as they cook to add more flavor if desired. To keep the heat in the grill cooking evenly I close the lid on the grill. Just make sure to check every few minutes that there are no flame ups happening and to watch for hot spots on your grill.
- Remove chicken kabobs from the grill, wrap in foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. Then serve and enjoy! While you might want to skip this simple step, it is really important and ensures your chicken is perfectly juicy and tender.
