Cilantro-Lime Chicken and Pineapple Skewers

Skewered foods are amusive to grill and cleanable for information control, but you person to beryllium cautious astir what goes connected the skewers. You often spot nutrient sharing abstraction with vegetables, which isn't the champion attack unless your execution is perfect. Too often, the vegetables extremity up charred connected the edges and earthy within.

My solution is to skip the veggies and usage pineapple, whose spirit is enhanced by conscionable a abbreviated clip connected the grill. I sometimes brace it with pork, but present I've chosen chicken. I've added an herb-and-chili-pepper bedewed hitch that's large with some the poultry and the fruit.

This is the benignant of crockery that kids similar to eat. There's thing astir presenting nutrient connected a instrumentality that makes it much appealing. The earthy sweetness of the pineapple doesn't hurt, either.

You'll request 8 medium-length woody skewers. For this recipe, alternatively than soaking them successful h2o to forestall burning, I usage aluminum foil to shield the exposed ends from the grill's heat.

The chickenhearted needs to marinate successful the refrigerator for astatine slightest 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
