Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp sesame oil. Add 1.5 lbs cubed chicken breast and 1 cup cubed pineapple, tossing to coat. Marinate for 20 minutes.
2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high. Thread the chicken and pineapple onto skewers, alternating pieces, and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Step 3: Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds before serving.
