Chicken and Pineapple Kabobs

Makes: 4  servings Prep 15 mins Start to Finish 55 mins

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.

2. In a small bowl, stir together barbecue sauce and remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon; set aside.

3. Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade). Separately thread chicken and pineapple on drained skewers. Sprinkle chicken with salt. Grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and pineapple is grill-marked, about 8 minutes for chicken and 4 minutes for pineapple. Serve with cinnamon-barbecue sauce, salad and potatoes. Makes 4 servings.
