Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces

2 cups canned pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks

1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Wooden skewers

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.

Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat.

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread chicken, pineapple and red onion alternately onto skewers.

Grill over medium-high heat for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked, the pineapple is caramelized and the onion is slightly charred and tender.

Serve warm with a squeeze of lime and your favorite summer side dishes.
