Skewered Chicken with Pineapple and Peppers

I had a perfectly sweet and fragrant pineapple on my counter that I wanted to use for dinner, so I made these richly-flavored grilled chicken kabobs.   The whole family enjoyed them, in fact, the kids wanted more when they were all gone! I served them with brown rice and a big spinach salad.

Skewered Chicken with Pineapple and Peppers

Marinade:
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (such as San J's Reduced sodium Tamari Soy Sauce)
2 tablespons pineapple juice ( I just squeezed some out of my fresh pineapple)
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons oil
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, minced

Kabob:
1 pound skinned, boned chicken breast, cut into 32 bite size pieces
1 cup red bell pepper pieces
1 1/2 cups cubed fresh pineapple

Prepare grill.

Combine the first 9 ingredients in a large bowl.  Add chicken and bell pepper, tossing to coat.  Thread chicken, pineapple, and bell pepper alternately onto each of 8 skewers. Cook about 10 minutes or until chicken is done, turning occasionally.

If you are serving this with brown rice, be sure to start the rice first, as it takes 45 minutes to cook.  The rest of the meal can be prepared while it is cooking.   I buy the soy sauce (which is gluten free for those of you with Celiac's) at Target.  I love the flavor of fresh ginger and keep it on hand for use in drinks and recipes like these.
