Hawaiian Jerk Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken Breast
• 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice
• 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos
• 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Allspice
• 1/2 tsp Thyme
• 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 stalks Green Onions
• 12 Skewers

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1 lb Chicken Breast into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice, 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos, 2 tbsp Brown Sugar, 1 tbsp Ginger, 2 cloves Garlic, 1/2 tsp Allspice, 1/2 tsp Thyme, and 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes until the brown sugar is dissolved. This is your Hawaiian Jerk marinade.
3. 3Add the 1 lb chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade. Stir well to ensure every piece of chicken is coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
4. 4While the chicken marinates, prepare your skewers. Cut the 2 stalks Green Onions into 1-inch pieces. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the 12 Skewers, alternating each piece of chicken with a piece of green onion.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is approximately 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Place the loaded skewers onto the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers every few minutes. The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the edges are slightly charred.
7. 7Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
