Instructions
Combine the first 4 ingredients into a small bowl. If you want to drizzle extra on later reserve ½ cup now in. a separate bowl. Pour over prepared chicken in a large zipper bag and marinate for 8-24 hours (the longer the better).
¼ cup vegetable oil, ⅓ cup honey, ⅓ cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp garlic, 6-8 chicken breasts
Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over the prepared onions and bell peppers and pineapple. Stir to coat evenly.
Bring grill to medium high heat. Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. Then grill veggies and pineapple (using a grill basket if needed) for 8-10 minutes (they should have bits of char and grill color).
If Using Skewers:
Assemble skewers with even layers of chicken, veggies, and pineapple. Grill over medium high heat for 8-10 minutes, rotating skewers occasionally for even cooking.
Optional Sauce:
To thicken reserved marinade for drizzling, first dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 2 tablespoon of water. Then add that mixture to the reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop or in the microwave for 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. It will continue to thicken as it sits. Drizzle over chicken and veggies before serving.
1 tbsp cornstarch
Notes
Tips & Tricks
The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. I recommend marinating overnight for the best results.
If you take the unkabob route, use a grilling basket for the onions and bell peppers. There are different sizes and brands, but mine is similar to this one.
Prep Ahead InstructionsCut and marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge or freeze it several months ahead. Chop and refrigerate veggies and pineapple 1-2 days ahead. Grill everything fresh the day of serving.
