Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 small red onion, cut into wedges

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, stirring well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

    Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. If using metal skewers, you can skip this step.

      Assemble the Skewers: Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the chicken, pineapple, red and yellow bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers in an alternating pattern until all ingredients are used.

        Grill the Skewers: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). The pineapple should be caramelized and slightly charred.

          Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired, and serve with a side of rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
