Spicy Pineapple BBQ Chicken Skewers

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that never fails to bring some tropical vibes to my dinner table: Spicy Pineapple BBQ Chicken Skewers. The mix of sweet, tangy pineapple with spicy BBQ glaze and juicy chicken always brightens up my day, no matter the season.

For this recipe, you will need:

  • 2 chicken breasts (about 400g)
  • 1 small pineapple, peeled and cut into chunks (about 400g)
  • 1/2 cup of spicy BBQ sauce
  • 1 tsp of chili powder
  • 1 tsp of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • grill pan

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and placing them in a mixing bowl. Add the BBQ sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl, then mix everything together until the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

While the chicken is marinating, thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto skewers, alternating between the two ingredients.

Heat a grill pan over medium heat and place the skewers on the pan. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapple has caramelized slightly.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. The combination of juicy chicken, sweet pineapple, and spicy BBQ glaze is a flavor explosion that will have your taste buds dancing.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. Each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories.

To take this dish to the next level, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the skewers before serving. The hint of citrus will brighten up the flavors and add a refreshing twist to the dish.

I hope you give these Spicy Pineapple BBQ Chicken Skewers a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the recipe and customize it to your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
