Ingredients

For The Marinade:

  • 4 Tablespoons soy sauce standard, not dark
  • ⅓ cup pineapple juice
  • 2 teaspoons worchestershire
  • ¼ cup brown sugar dark
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 Tablespoon ginger grated

For The Skewers

  • 1 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 cup white mushrooms halved

Instructions

Marinate

  • Combine marinade ingredients. Add salt and pepper, chili flakes to taste.
  • Add to freezer bag along with prepared ingredients.
    Marinate 30 minutes to overnight.

On The Stove:

  • Heat a cast iron or nonstick pan with olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Once oil is hot, add skewers to pan.
  • Cook, continuing to turn. Allow time for sides to sear and brown while cooking, don't turn too quickly.
  • Once meat comes to tempertature, allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

On The Grill:

  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. Brush grills with olive oil to grease.
  • Add skewers to grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Once skewers begin to release, reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook on medium heat, rotating often until internal temperature is reached. Rest for 5-6 minutes before serving.

Air Fryer:

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
  • Cook skewers until chicken has internal temperature of 165°F. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Skewer Tips:
  • Soaking skewers will prevent burning.
  • When making veggie skewers, match the cooking times to what is being skewered. Onions and peppers take 7 minutes, but mushrooms and feta cheese take 3-4.
  • Long skewers work better for entertaining. Don't use small charcuterie skewers.
Our best variations:
  • Add 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter for a spicy peanut sauce marinade. or
  • Add rice pilaf or coconut rice for a dinner to impress. We do this one for our meal prep too!
Cooking Tips:
  • Do not reuse marinade for additional ingredients. Cross contamination is very easy when making skewers, so if hoping to add additional marinade onto skewers double recipe and brush on during cooking.
  • If you're entertaining, make some skewers that are just meat, and just vegetables. These can help avoid allergies, keep some from overcooking, and ensure you have some fresh skewers ready to be added to the dinner in an emergency.
  • Always soak the skewers. I am the laziest cook ever, and I will always soak skewers after seeing the difference.
  • ALWAYS PREHEAT. Especially cooking in a pan, oven, or anything other than a grill, if you don't preheat you're not going to get a blackened grilled flavor to dinner and it'll seem silly. Heat your pan, heat your oil, and marinate properly.
