Brace yourself for these Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken Skewers! It’s Fourth of July weekend, which means grilling! There are so many grilled foods that can be prepped healthy. This chicken recipe is a perfect example.  These chicken skewers have the perfect balance of savory and sweet.  Pineapple, BBQ sauce, and juicy chicken….hello summer!

These skewers make the perfect quick and easy recipe. I recommend marinating the chicken beforehand. Marinating allows the chicken to soak up all of the juices. This produces juicy chicken! Now that summer has rolled in, the sun is setting a lot later each day. This is the kind of recipe I can marinate and throw it in the fridge in the morning before work, then come home after and toss on the grill for 10 minutes.

The cooking brush is a crucial step! I usually glaze all of my meat with some form of liquid immediately before removing it from the grill. A little BBQ sauce here adds a little pop, and of course more flavor!

These skewers are perfect for meal prep as well. I LOVE to meal prep grilled dishes because the food usually has sooooo much flavor. Flavor is key for advanced prep. It helps prevent you from growing tired of eating the same lunch each day.

Absolutely loved this dressing on Hawaiian kebabs. I am a vegetarian so will figure out a vegetarian option but will try that marinade for sure.
