Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup canned pineapple juice
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp minced ginger
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (chopped into 1 1/4-inch cubes)
  • 3 cups (heaping) fresh cubed pineapple (about 3/4 of a 3 lb pineapple)
  • 1 1/2 large green peppers (diced into 1 1/4-inch pieces)
  • 1 large red onion (diced into 1 1/4-inch pieces)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, 2 Tbsp olive oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place chopped chicken in a resealable bag; reserve 1/2 cup marinade in the refrigerator. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  3. Preheat grill to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle olive oil on diced vegetables and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Thread chicken, pineapple, green peppers, and red onion onto skewers alternating between ingredients.
  5. Brush grill grates with olive oil; place skewers on the grill. Cook for about five minutes before basting with reserved marinade. Rotate skewers every few minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), about 8–10 minutes total.
