Barbecue Skewers with Chicken and Pineapple

These Barbecue Skewers will be the hit at any of your summer cookouts.  They are made with white meat chicken, pineapple, onion, and red bell pepper.     They can be assembled ahead of time which gives you more time with your guests or for an easier dinner choice.

Have you noticed for some unknown reason when you place food on a stick or skewer, it just tastes better? There are so many options with skewers when it comes to ingredients.    We even have an amazing Pizza Kabob recipe that you just must try.   That just goes to show you that anything can be on a skewer.   But today we are talking about Barbecue Skewers with grilled chicken and pineapple and slathered with barbecue sauce.

We are using fresh pineapple to grill and it totally makes a difference.  Cutting up a pineapple is easy with the right tools and the fresh flavor it brings is well worth the extra time.  We love using this Pineapple de-corer/slicer/peeler/cutter/wedger on Amazon. We do make things a little easier by using a store-bought bbq sauce on these Chicken and Pineapple kabobs or skewers.  But your favorite sauce will do but we like to lean towards a sweet but spicy sauce for these skewers.
