Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

ACTIVE TIME: 10 MIN. I TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN. I SERVES: 4

Ingredients:

  • ~ 1 lbs. Chicken tenderloins, cut into skewer-sized pieces
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon mirin (rice vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 pineapple sliced into bite-sized bits
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Stainless steel skewers – they are the best!

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the chicken in all of the ingredients except the pineapple – save that for the skewers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill to 350°.*
  3. While the grill is preheating, assemble the skewers by alternating two or three pieces of pineapple to one piece of chicken. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes to finish.
  4. Place the skewers on the grill for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°.
  5. Serve over rice. We like a coconut lime version.

*If baking, preheat oven to 375° and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°.
