- 1 to 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup plus 1 T. extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 T. soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 1 large pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks

Preparation
Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/4 inch cubes. Combine ¼ cup oil, garlic, soy sauce, ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken, toss to coat, and marinate for 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, toss pineapple, peppers, and onion with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Thread chicken, pineapple, peppers and onion onto eight 12-inch metal skewers. Brush skewers with any remaining marinade. Grill kebabs over medium-high heat, turning skewers, until chicken is cooked through and juices are clear, about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve.
