Sweet Chicken Kabobs with Peppers, Onions, and Pineapple

Chicken Kabobs are a great dish to cook in the summer, because you can cook them on the grill. I love chicken kabobs and have my husband cook them quite frequently in the summer months. Kabobs are a great entree because you can change them up every time you cook them. Sometimes we do baby tomatoes, baby red potatoes, squash, and carrots, but my favorite combination is an assortment of bell peppers, onions, and pineapple chunks. You can also use pork or steak instead of chicken. I usually opt for chicken because it is healthier. Another great thing about kabobs is that you can change up the marinade each time you use them. There are some really delicious pre-made marinades in the grocery store, but marinades are a very easy thing to make from scratch. I served these kabobs with baked sweet potatoes and steamed fresh green beans that were seasoned with cracked black pepper and garlic.

Sweet Chicken Kabobs with Peppers, Onions, and Pineapple
Serves 5 people

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup of pineapple chunks
1 red or sweet onion medium sized
1 green bell pepper medium sized
1 red bell pepper medium sized
1/2 cup of your choice of bbq sauce
3 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate (from the freezer section) - thawed
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Directions:
Preheat your grill.

For the marinade:
Combine the orange juice concentrate and bbq sauce and stir well. Set aside.

For the kabobs:
Cut chicken breasts in good sized chunks
Cut all vegetables - you will want big enough pieces that stay on the skewer
Take kabob skewers and add the assorted vegetables, pineapple, and chicken to each of them.
Take the marinade and brush it onto each of the chicken kabobs.
Salt and pepper all of the kabobs.

Place kabobs on the grill and cook over medium heat until chicken is 165 degrees.
You will need to turn the kabobs over several times to prevent charring.
Enjoy :)
