Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 pounds of chicken breasts
  • 1 pineapple
  • 4 bell peppers
  • 1 large red onion

For the marinade:

  • ⅓ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 package jerk seasoning .8 - 1.0 ounce sizemeasure out 2 teaspoons and reserve for later
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teasoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • 2-24 hours before cooking kebabs, make the chicken marinade
  • Mix by hand pineapple juice, lime juice, olive oil, light brown sugar, jerk seasoning, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Marinade 2-24 hours
  • Chop pineapple.
  • Chop bell peppers into 1.5 inch squares
  • Chop onion by slicing in half, then cutting each half into 6 pieces if it's large, 4 if it's medium.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat.
  • Push bell peppers, onions, chicken and pineapple onto each skewer until full. Any order works great! I personally like the chicken next to the pineapple and onion so it can absorb some of the flavor.
  • Lightly sprinkle the remaining jerk seasoning over the kebabs.
  • Grill! Depending how full your grill is will determine how long they take to cook. If you have a small grill and fill it up, they'll take about 10 minutes per side. If your grill isn't full, turn every 5 minutes until done.
  • Allow to cool and enjoy!

Notes

These make great leftovers! Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat on the grill or in the microwave.
