This Hawaiian favorite has tropical Asian flair and is a favorite sauce for grilling. Because this recipe is oil-free and the chicken is un-brined, it's finished in the oven to keep it tender.

Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Serves: 4 servings (8 skewers)
Ingredients
  • 8 skewers
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons lite soy sauce (use gluten-free tamari, if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (can substitute brown sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons pineapple juice (from cutting the pineapple)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
Instructions
  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes before using. Grease or prepare your grill surface.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, juice, garlic, and ginger; mix well. Pour half of the sauce into another bowl.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and preheat your oven to 350°F.
  4. Alternately thread the chicken cubes and pineapple chunks onto each skewer. You should have about three of each per skewer.
  5. Grill the skewers for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, while brushing the sauce from one bowl onto the chicken and pineapple every other minute. Once done, you can discard that sauce.
  6. To prevent the chicken from drying out, finish cooking the skewers in the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. Using a clean brush or spoon, coat the skewers with the sauce from the second bowl before serving.
Notes
Orange Option: You can use orange juice instead of pineapple juice.
