Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Ensure it's Halal-certified
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, cut into wedges
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell peppers, onion, and pineapple into chunks.
  4. Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple onto skewers, alternating for a colorful presentation.
Grilling
  1. Preheat the grill; for charcoal, allow the coals to turn gray. For a gas grill, preheat on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.
  2. Place the skewers on the grill and grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  3. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the kabobs with a variety of toppings such as sesame seeds or a drizzle of sweet chili sauce. If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, use an oven or skillet over medium heat for best results.
