Mike's Pineapple Chicken Skewers
- 4 Extra Large Boneless Chicken Breasts fat trimmed
- 4 large Green Bell Peppers
- 1 can Pineapple Chunks
- 2 large Purple Onions
- 1 can 20 oz Dole Crushed Pineapples
- 1 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce your favorite brand
- 1 tbsp Minced Ginger
- 2 tbsp Garlic Chili Sauce
- 1 Bottle Teriyaki Miso Sauce optional not to be mixed in marinade
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Salt
- 1 gallon Sized Ziplock Bag
- 1 Pair Barbecue Tongs
- 8 Metal Skewers
- 1 large Bowl
- 1 small Pot
- 1 Brush
- 1 Tortilla - Naan - Pita Breads or bad of your choosing
- 1 White Rice
- TO BRINE CHICKEN: In a small pot, heat two cups water, salt and sugar until dissolved.
- Add some ice cubes to cool the mixture down.
- Pour in large bowl.
- Add chicken breasts.
- Add just enough cold water to cover breasts.
- Add four cups ice and mix up.
- Place in fridge to brine for five to six hours minimum or no longer than eight hours.
- You can also pre-cut your chicken into 1"x1" cubes and brine for 2 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Add everything in the Marinade section except for the Teriyaki Miso Sauce in a Ziplock bag and mix.
- Pull chicken from brine and place in marinade bag.
- Allow chicken to marinate for two hours or longer.
- Reserve marinade sauce for later use.
- Chop all vegetables in 1"x1" cubes.
- Cut chicken in 1"x1" cubes as well.
- Thread chicken on metal skewers starting and ending with chicken pieces.
- Thread vegetables and pineapple in between chicken pieces.
- OPTIONAL: Lightly brush constructed skewers with Teriyaki Miso Sauce.
- This sauce is optional since it does have a slightly bitter Miso taste to it.
- However, by adding the pineapple chunks, it negates the flavor almost entirely.
- Grill until fully cooked at 425 to 450.
- Usually about 15 minutes.
- Be careful not to burn by turning skewers regularly.
- Serve with Tortillas, Naan bread or any other breads that you can place your chicken in.
- You can also bake these.
- I use a convection oven like the one pictured.
- If you choose to bake, add chicken chunks, vegetables and pineapples on a nonstick sheet or oven safe liner and bake at 425 for 30 minutes.
- Serve with white rice.
- Lastly, you can use your pineapple marinade to make a thick sauce to drizzle over rice.
- Do this by bringing marinade to a hard boil and adding 2 tablespoons corn starch mixed with a small amount of water in a seperate bowl.
- Then, slowly add it to your simmering marinade.
- Simmer until sauce thickens to the consistency you desire.The longer it simmers the thicker your sauce will become.
