Ingredients
- •Yellow Onion
- •Pineapple
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(590g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •Vegetable oil(30g)
- •Paprika, Smoked(5g)
- •Paprika, Ground(5g)
- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)
- •1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper ($0.02)
- •BBQ Sauce(120g)
Any BBQ sauce. Sweet Baby Ray's is a go-to. Check sugar content if cutting.
- •Green Onion (Scallion)
Instructions
- 1Cut the red onions into 1-inch squares. Place the red onion in a bowl, drizzle with 1 Tbsp cooking oil, and toss to coat.
- 2Cut the pineapple into 1-inch cubes.
- 3Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes, then place the chicken pieces in a bowl. Drizzle 1 Tbsp cooking oil on top, then add the smoked paprika, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken until it is well coated in oil and spices.
- 4Build your kebabs by adding pineapple, onion, and chicken to skewers, alternating as you go. I got ten skewers, but the yield will vary depending on the length of your skewers and size of your pieces.
- 5Heat a grill or grill pan over medium. Once hot, add the kebabs and cook for a few minutes on each side.
- 6When the kebabs are almost cooked through, brush them on all sides with BBQ Sauce. Cook the chicken kebabs for a minute or two more on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the BBQ sauce is slightly caramelized.
- 7Sprinkle the sliced green onions over top just before serving.
