Today’s Culinary Innovation: Spiced Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Hello, fellow foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a recipe for spiced pineapple chicken skewers that is perfect for a summer backyard barbecue. The combination of savory spices with sweet pineapple creates a delicious, unique flavor that will have your guests coming back for more.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

  • 400g chicken breast, cubed
  • 200g pineapple chunks
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Next, make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

  • grill
  • skewers
  • mixing bowl
  • basting brush

Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.

While the chicken is marinating, thread the pineapple chunks onto the skewers. Alternate the pineapple with the marinated chicken cubes for a colorful and flavorful combination.

Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks. Use the basting brush to coat the skewers with any remaining marinade while grilling to keep them juicy and flavorful.

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of the spices and caramelized pineapple will make your mouth water!

This dish serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 175g. One serving of these spiced pineapple chicken skewers is around 250 calories.

As a unique tip, try serving these skewers with a side of coconut rice to complement the flavors of the dish. The creamy coconut rice adds a tropical touch that pairs perfectly with the spiced chicken and sweet pineapple.

I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe for spiced pineapple chicken skewers. Feel free to customize it with your favorite spices or additional vegetables. Happy grilling!
