Sizzling Summer: Grilled Pineapple Chicken Skewers
Ever wonder if you can eat gourmet on a broke budget? Same. Here’s my hack for transforming your weekly dinner into something extraordinary —only 5 ingredients! Mixing simplicity with taste, I introduce you to Grilled Pineapple Chicken Skewers, perfect for any summer night or spur-of-the-moment BBQ.
What Makes This Special
- Only 5 ingredients!
- Family-friendly and picky-eater approved
- Zero fancy kitchen gear needed
- Leftovers are even better the next day
- Easy to meal prep or double for later
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 fresh pineapple, cubed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, and olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill: Get your grill ready to medium-high heat.
- Skewer the ingredients: Alternate threading the marinated chicken and pineapple pieces onto the skewers. Make sure not to overcrowd the skewers.
- Grill the skewers: Place them on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
- Serve it up: Remove from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with a light salad or over a bed of rice for a well-rounded meal.
Keeping It Real
- Life’s busy, especially if you’re juggling work and family, so having a recipe up your sleeve that looks fancy but takes minimal effort is a lifesaver.
- These “Set-It-And-Forget-It” side gigs are just like marinating chicken overnight: prep it today and let the passive money roll in.
- Real talk: Managing side gigs and quick recipes can keep your life flavorful without the burnout. Balance is everything!
