Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Pineapple Chunks
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 8 count Wooden Skewers

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1 lb Chicken Breast into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2In a bowl, combine the 2 tbsp Olive Oil, 2 tbsp Lime Juice, 2 cloves Garlic (minced), 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin, 1/4 tsp Dried Oregano, 1/4 tsp Salt, and 1/8 tsp Black Pepper. Mix these ingredients together well.
  3. 3Add the 1 lb Chicken Breast cubes to the marinade mixture and toss until every piece is coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. 4Thread the marinated chicken cubes and the 1 cup Pineapple Chunks onto the 8 count Wooden Skewers, alternating between chicken and pineapple.
  5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 350°F (175°C).
  6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the pineapple is slightly caramelized and has grill marks. This should take about 12-16 minutes total.
  7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately.
