Description
Tender chicken and a sweet, savory glaze for a family-friendly main dish. Skewers cook in 12-15 minutes for an easy, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 large bell peppers, mixed colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained), optional
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari (low sodium preferred)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Alternatively, prepare a grill.
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic, soy sauce, and rice vinegar (if using). Reserve 1/4 cup of the glaze for basting.
Thread chicken, bell peppers, onions, and pineapple onto skewers, alternating for even spacing.
Place skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour remaining glaze over the skewers, ensuring they are coated.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning once and basting with reserved glaze, until chicken is cooked through and golden. For a charred finish, you can finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or grill over medium heat.
Let skewers rest briefly before serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Marinating the chicken in the glaze for 15-30 minutes enhances flavor, but it’s not required.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
