Love this one! Instead of using the skewers we just toss these up in the skillet and then serve over white rice. The pineapple and red pepper makes it wonderful!

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Prevent the Chicken from Sticking to the Grill

Spray the unheated grate of the grill, away from the fire, with cooking spray before using to prevent sticking. Or, brush the grill grate with oil.

Substitute

Substitute 1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks, drained, for the fresh pineapple chunks and/or a green pepper for the red bell pepper.

These were absolutely delicious!!! The chicken was so moist and the flavors went so well together. I made this on my "george foreman" grill rather than on an outside grill and my husband and I loved these!

My very picky husband and 9 year old loved it. I did not use skewers though. I just cook it all on the stove top. Added green pepper as well. We used rice on the side.

Excellent recipe, will definetly make again. I made it as is, but will adjust the heat some the next time. This was a very easy recipe to make and there were no leftovers.

I couldn't believe the great taste, when i had my first bite. So good! Definitely, a recipe worth trying. I used a little zesty italian dressing instead of the mix and i added a dash of garlic pepper to the marinade. Overall, a good mix of variety on the kabob and it took no time for us to polish these off!

This marinade is absolutely delicious! I marinate the veggies in a separate bowl of marinade for at least 30 min. as well. Would be great served over some hot jasmine rice. Next time I think I'll try this with shrimp too.

It is rare that we have 5 clean plates inlcuding no left overs, but the chk skewers were excellent. All 4 of my girls loved them so much and the flavor was extrodinary.
