Ingredients

  • 3 skinless chicken breasts , cut into 1-inch chunks
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 skewers , (if wooden, soak in water for 20 minutes)
  • 1 purple onion , cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper , cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ fresh pineapple , cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  • In a gallon freezer bag, add the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, orange marmalade, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic powder. Pour into the freezer bag with the chicken. Marinate in the fridge for 2-4 hours.
  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken pieces alternating with the onion, red bell pepper, and pineapple.
