Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes and 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks to the marinade. Toss to coat well, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread marinated chicken cubes and pineapple chunks alternately onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks with slightly caramelized pineapple.
Step 5: Remove from grill and serve immediately with lime wedges and a fresh green salad.
