Ingredients

For the Skewers:
1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 bell pepper (any color), cut into chunks (optional)
½ red onion, cut into chunks (optional)
8–10 wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 mins)
For the Marinade:
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp honey or sugar-free substitute (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp ginger, grated
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread chicken, pineapple, and optional vegetables alternately onto skewers.
Grill for 5–6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and pineapple is lightly charred.
Serve immediately with a side of cauliflower rice or a green salad.
