Description
Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs offer an easy grilled recipe that blends sweet pineapple with juicy chicken, bell pepper and red onion for a vibrant, tropical flavor. The simple marinade of grape juice, garlic powder, vegetable oil, salt and pepper infuses the chicken with a subtle sweetness while keeping it tender. Skewer the marinated pieces and grill for 10-15 minutes until perfect grill marks appear. This friendly dish serves four, fits a quick dinner schedule, and brings a taste of island sunshine.
