Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • ⅔ cup barbecue sauce
  • ⅔ cup teriyaki sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

For the kabobs:

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 sweet onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic, and ginger. Reserve 1/2 cup and set aside.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine barbecue sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade.
  3. Assemble the kabobs: Thread chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Grill the kabobs: Preheat grill to medium heat. Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Brush skewers with reserved barbecue sauce mixture, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately.
