Sweet & Sour Chicken Kabobs Recipe courtesy of Eat At Home

Ingredients

For the kabobs:

1. 1 1/2 – 3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast (depending on the size of your family), cut in 1-inch pieces
2. 2 tablespoons sugar
3. 3 tablespoons soy sauce 
4. 1 garlic clove, minced or crushed
5. 1 green pepper, in chunk sized pieces
6. 1 onion, in chunk sized pieces
7. 1 can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
8. rice

For the dipping sauce:

1. Pineapple juice from the can of pineapple
2. 3 tablespoons vinegar
3. 3 tablespoons brown sugar
4. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
5. 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

1. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl.  Mix sugar, soy sauce  garlic together and pour over the chicken, coating well.
2. Refrigerate chicken for anywhere from 3o minutes to several hours
3. Thread the meat, veggies & pineapple on the skewers, and grill over medium heat, turning frequently.  Cook until chicken is done (no longer than 15 minutes.)
4. Meanwhile, mix dipping sauce ingredients in small saucepan.  Bring to a boil until thickened some, and serve with kabobs & steamed rice.

Have you made kabobs this summer at your home?  My kiddos love pineapple, so I’m looking forward to trying this one out soon.
