How to Make Chicken Pineapple Kabobs
- Marinating the cut-up chicken is an important step to get the best teriyaki flavor! 2 hours minimum, 24 hours maximum! You don't want to go over 24 hours, it could affect the texture of the chicken.
- This recipe is very easy, all you'll need to do is a little chopping, assemble and let the grill do its magic. The chicken, pineapple, peppers and onions are chopped in about 1-inch cubes. It doesn't have to be perfect but try to keep the pieces close to the same size for even cooking. When it comes to the mushrooms, remove the stem and keep them whole if they're little or cut them in half if bigger.
- To assemble your kabobs, have everything laid out and ready to go before you start as you will be touching raw chicken. It's completely fine to touch the chicken and then the veggies, everything is being grilled together! Pick an order for the assemble but I highly recommend that the chicken and pineapple are next to each other. I did chicken, pineapple, pepper, mushroom, onion then chicken again and keep going until you have about 1 ½ inch left empty of the skewer. Just wash your hands thoroughly when the skewers are assembled and ready to be grilled!

Tips and FAQs
- Can I use something different besides chicken? Absolutely! The grilled pineapple is the true star of this recipe! If you are vegetarian, use more veggies and marinated some of them in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then brush them with more teriyaki Beef works too but should be marinated only for up to 2-3 hours. The texture will become a little strange if you over marinate the beef.
- The teriyaki sauce is up to your preference! I use a coconut aminos-based teriyaki sauce and add a little garlic, mustard and sesame seeds to it but this is optional. If you have a soy-base teriyaki sauce you like, use it!
- Flip the skewers on the grill about every 3 minutes for everything to be perfectly cooked without burning.
