Summertime is all about grilling! And what’s more fun to grill than kabobs, especially when they have pineapple on them!? These Hawaiian chicken kabobs are a healthy way to enjoy barbecue and Hawaiian flavors without the gluten, soy and refined sugars. 

Fire Up The Grill And Get To Prepping

Get your grill going, and let it heat up while you prep the kabobs. All you have to do is make the sauce – just whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a small jar or bowl. Then, cut up your chicken, bell peppers, red onion and pineapple. Try to get them all cut up in similar sizes so everything cooks evenly.

The Sauce

We used maple syrup as a sweetener, but you could also try date paste for a lower glycemic index. Then, we used coconut aminos in place of soy sauce, which is traditionally used in Hawaiian cooking. We added a little tomato paste, garlic and chili powder. It really adds a smokiness that is a tasty combo, especially with the sweet pineapple.

Notes

  • These are also perfect for baking in the oven at 450° Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, and then flip to the other side and cook for another 10-15 minutes until chicken is done. 
  • If you don’t have skewers, you can make this as a sheet pan meal. Just place all the kabob ingredients in a bowl, toss with the sauce and spread it all out on sheet pans to cook.
