# How To Make It:

01 - Whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.

02 - Add chicken cubes to the marinade, toss well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor penetration.

03 - If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F).

04 - Thread marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and onion wedges alternately onto skewers, leaving slight space between pieces for even cooking.

05 - Place kabobs on preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked through and develops light char marks.

06 - Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -

The marinade does double duty tenderizing the chicken while infusing it with that perfect sweet savory balance
Everything cooks on skewers which means minimal cleanup and maximum fun factor for dinner

02 -

Do not marinate longer than 2 hours or the pineapple enzymes will make the chicken texture mushy
Reserve some marinade before adding chicken if you want to brush extra during grilling

03 -

Thread ingredients with the same pieces touching each other on multiple skewers so each one finishes cooking at the same time
Let skewers rest under loose foil for a few minutes to keep juices from running out onto the plate
