Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger until smooth. Add chicken and toss to coat, then marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with 1/2 cup pineapple slices. Brush lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and pineapple is golden-brown with caramelized edges.
  4. Step 4: Transfer to a platter, garnish with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and serve immediately while still warm.
