A delightful recipe for chicken skewers marinated in a tropical pineapple-based sauce, perfect for grilling.
Combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat before boiling.
Avoid boiling the marinade to preserve the fresh pineapple flavor.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto soaked wooden skewers.
Soak the skewers in water beforehand to prevent burning.
Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
Brush the skewers with leftover marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Serve the skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime juice for added zest.
Pair with a tropical fruit salad for a complete meal.
