21 Day Fix Pineapple Chicken Skewers

Grilling kabobs is hands-down one of my favorite summertime meals!  It's kind of like the "outdoor" version of a one-skillet meal!  Just marinate your protein, cut up your veggies, assemble your kabobs, and GRILL!  
The flavors mix together perfectly, you can make extra for the next day's lunch.
​It's SO quick & easy!  Done and DONE!

This is the IDEAL meal prep - lots of lean protein, veggies, and a fruit - that I can use for several more meals! 

Eating a rainbow is easy when you grill all these awesome veggies! ​

Fruits become even sweeter when you grill them, too! Pineapple's delicious & watermelon is, too!

Eat a rainbow!

PINEAPPLE CHICKEN SKEWERS
Serves 4
Container equivalents: 1 green, 1 red, 1/2 PURPLE
INGREDIENTS:

• 8 skewers (bamboo or metal)
• 1 lb raw chicken breast, cut into 1″ pieces
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (gluten free) or Coconut aminos
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 8oz can or pre-cut pineapple chunks OR 1/2 pineapple cubed (fresh pineapples makes this recipe amazing!)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 16 1-inch chunks
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 16 1-inch chunks
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 large zucchini or squash – slice in half, then into 1/2 inch moons (optional)
• 1 small eggplant - peeled and cut into cubes (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes.
2. Place chicken in resealable plastic bag (or container);
3. Add soy sauce, oil, and ginger; seal bag and shake gently to mix. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to marinate.
4. Preheat grill on medium heat.
5. Place a piece of chicken, pineapple chunk, bell peppers, squash, eggplant and onion onto a skewer.
6. Repeat, so the skewer has an average of two pieces of each ingredient. Repeat with seven remaining skewers.
7. If you have extra veggies, just make veggie kabobs to eat later!
8. Discard any left over marinade.
9. Grill skewers on covered grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
10. Serve immediately.
