Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 1/4 pounds pineapple, peeled, cord and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
- 20 8 inches bamboo skewers soaked in water 30 min
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Shredded Carrot Salad, optional
- Smashed Cheesy Potatoes, optional
Directions
1. For marinade, in a medium bowl, combine vinegar, oil, garlic, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and the chili powder. Cut chicken lengthwise into twelve 1/2- to 1-inch-thick strips. In an airtight container, toss together chicken and marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
