  • PREP TIME 25 Min
  • TOTAL TIME 1 Hr 25 Min
  • SERVINGS 6

 

6
boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 lb), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3
cup jerk seasoning sauce
1
cup canned or fresh pineapple chunks
2
medium red bell peppers, each cut into 12 wedges
1/2
medium onion, cut into 12 wedges, separated into chunks
  • 1 In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix chicken and 1/4 cup of the jerk sauce. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate 1 hour to marinate, stirring occasionally.
  • 2 Heat gas or charcoal grill. Drain chicken; discard marinade. On each of 6 (15-inch) metal skewers, thread chicken, pineapple, bell peppers and onion alternately, leaving space between each piece. Brush vegetables with remaining jerk sauce.
  • 3 Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook about 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are tender.

Expert Tips

Leave about a 1/4-inch space between the pieces on the skewers to allow for even cooking.

For an easy and delicious summer supper, serve grilled kabobs with hot buttered basmati rice.

    I recommend this recipe. I found that the chicken with sauce was very flavorable and not hot spicy at all. The molasses was the main ingredient and that came to life on the meat and veggies. The pineapple though fell apart so I would suggest getting it already chunky not not get it in rings. Bell pepper you have to watch because it can get burnt on the grill very easily. All in all though I love it.
