For Skewering
  • 4-6 pieces Vegetable Skewers/Wooden Skewers Soak wooden skewers for 20-30 minutes to avoid burning

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your boneless skinless chicken breasts into even chunks for uniform cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with kosher salt, cracked black pepper, teriyaki sauce, and a splash of pineapple juice. Allow marinating for at least 20 minutes up to 2 hours.
  3. Soak your wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning. Chop your pineapple into bite-sized chunks and slice the bell peppers into pieces.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and scallion segments onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Grill the kabobs for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes and brushing with additional teriyaki sauce.
  6. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. It should read 165°F (75°C) when done.
