Juicy chicken, sweet pineapple, and vibrant bell peppers combined for a delightful summer grilling dish that’s easy and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 bell peppers (red, orange, or yellow), cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 bunch of scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken chunks with kosher salt and cracked black pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add 3/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce and pineapple juice to the chicken and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes before assembling the kabobs.
  5. Prep your pineapple, bell peppers, and scallions as described: cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks, the bell peppers into square pieces, and the scallions into 1-inch segments.
  6. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and scallions onto the soaked skewers, alternating each ingredient.
  7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  8. Place the assembled kabobs on the grill grates and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
  9. Brush with remaining teriyaki sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F for the chicken.

Notes

You can let kids help with threading the ingredients onto skewers. For variations, swap in vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
