Foodies: Oven Baked Hawaiian Chicken Kebabs

I adapted this recipe from Chew Nibble Nosh.  It was originally meant to be on skewers, but ain't no mama got time for that when it's going in the oven.  

Ingredients: 

1/3 cup Ketchup

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup pineapple juice

3 TBSP olive oil, divided

1 1/2 TBSP. rice vinegar

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 TBSP minced ginger

1/2 tsp sesame oil

salt and pepper

1 3/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes

1-2 green peppers, cut into chunks

1 large red onion, cut into chunks

skewers (if you prefer or want to grill)

Directions: 

1.  Prepare the marinade a few hours before cooking ( I did this a day before and the meat was very moist).  Mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, 2 TBSP of the olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add chicken cubes and marinate for at least 3 hours.  

 

2.  If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them about an hour prior to cooking. 

 

3.  Preheat your broiler.  Line the bottom of the broiler pan with foil and use a nonstick spray.  

 

4.  Combine peppers, onion, pineapple, 2 TBSP olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.  Either thread onto skewers (with chicken) or put onto baking sheet.   

5.  Broil the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes total (basting both sides with the reserve marinade and turning halfway through.  

I served mine with white rice and added cashews.  YUM!
