A quick and easy summer recipe inspired by the tasty chicken kabobs freshly grilled at the farmer's market in San Luis Obispo, CA. —gabsimonelouise
Ingredients
-
2 pounds
chicken thighs
-
1 cup
your favorite teriyaki sauce (Trader Joe's Soyaki is my choice)
-
1/2
of a fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into large chunks
-
2
large carrots, cut into thick rounds
-
1
sweet yellow onion, quartered, layers deconstructed
Directions
-
Trim the fat off the chicken thighs and cut into thick slices, about 2" x 2". Put them in a bowl with the teriyaki sauce, stir to coat the chicken, cover and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
-
Get your gas or charcoal grill ready! Layer the chicken, pineapple, carrots, and onion onto 4 skewers (see photos for example) and place on the grill over medium-high heat. Cook until the chicken looks slightly burned on the edges, 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to cook too long, the chicken should be tender and juicy, not dry. Have some rice on the side and extra teriyaki sauce on hand if you'd like!
