What You Need

lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

cups fresh pineapple chunks (1-1/2 inch)

each red and green pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

1/2

cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce

Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

Make It

HEAT grill to medium-high heat.

THREAD chicken alternately with pineapple and peppers onto 8 long wooden skewers, using 2 skewers placed side-by-side for each kabob.

MIX barbecue sauce and juice concentrate; brush half evenly onto kabobs.

GRILL 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is done, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note

Soak wooden skewers in water 30 min. before using. Wrap ends with foil before grilling to prevent them from burning. If using metal skewers, use just 1 metal skewer when assembling each kabob.

Variation

Prepare as directed, substituting 1 lb. skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks, for the chicken. Or, substitute 1 lb. uncooked peeled and deveined extra-large shrimp for the chicken, reducing the grilling time to 4 to 6 min. or until shrimp turn pink.

Substitute

Substitute 1 drained can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice for the fresh pineapple.

My family loves this recipe. Not only is it quick and light it is fun to make with the kids. They enjoy putting the skewers together and they love the taste!

It's not that this necessarily tasted bad, it just wasn't what I anticipated. It pretty much tasted like orange juice on chicken, honestly. I think the ratio of the concentrate is too high, personally. I like the idea of adding the juice, but I would probably have to change this recipe a lot to get it to "sweet" bbq and not just "OJ" bbq haha :)

I made this recipe on a rainy day so it was made in my oven. Cooked the same amount of time. Came out wonderful! This is one recipe I will make over and over again.

We've made these three times in the past two weeks! The only thing we changed was we used orange juice instead of orange concentrate. It wasn't too orange flavored. Perfect!

I have made this recipe twice and it's really delicious. The pineapples are a perfect combination with the chicken. I cooked this on the grill and it was a big hit with the family and some friends.

Made these for Fathers Day get together and everybody loved them. I substituted lean pork for the chicken and it was delicious.

Easy and Yummy. Great for busy weeknight dinners. Get ready the night before and grill at dinner time.

Didn't really care for it. The orange flavor really overpowered the BBQ sauce. Maybe it would be better with just orange juice instead of the concentrate? Not sure I'll bother with this one again.
