Sizzling Summer Recipe: Spicy Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Chicken Skewers

I’m excited to share one of my favorite summer dishes with you all today — spicy pineapple chicken skewers. This dish is perfect for a backyard barbecue or a casual weeknight dinner, bringing together the sweet and tangy flavors of pineapple with a kick of heat from the spicy marinade.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 500g chicken breast, cut into cubes
• 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 50ml soy sauce
• 30ml sriracha sauce
• 30ml honey
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

To prepare this dish, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• grill
• mixing bowl
• skewers
• knife
• cutting board

Start by soaking the skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion for skewering. Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper squares, and onion wedges onto the skewers in your desired pattern.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapple has caramelized.

Once the skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. The combination of the spicy marinade with the sweet pineapple and tangy lime juice creates a burst of flavors with every bite.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1000g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 250g, with an estimated calorie count of 300 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to brush the skewers with the leftover marinade while grilling for an extra flavor boost.

I hope you enjoy these spicy pineapple chicken skewers as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite vegetables or adjust the level of spiciness to suit your taste. Happy grilling!
