Serves: 4
Prep:   15min
Cook:   8min
Total:  23min
              
Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size chunks
• 2 medium zucchini, cut into large chunks
• 2 cups large pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 medium red onions, cut into large chunks
• 2 red bell peppers, cut into large chunks
• 8 wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 20 minutes
• salt and black pepper
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar (rice wine or cider)
• 1 tsp sriracha hot sauce
• Fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Thread chicken, veggies, and fruit onto skewers, alternating chicken, zucchini, pineapple, onion, and red pepper. Season with salt and pepper.

2. In a mixing bowl, stir together maple syrup, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha. Set aside half the glaze in a separate container; brush the rest onto the skewered food.

3. Grill until lightly charred and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Then use a clean brush to coat with extra sauce. Top with cilantro, if desired.
