I am realizing that I need to make kabobs way more in my life. I always have the wooden kabob sticks laying around in a drawer and they just sit there waiting for someone to use them. They look so lonely just staring at me every time I open the drawer.
I need to make an effort to make more kabobs and give those wooden sticks their life’s purpose. These little guys are so easy, yummy and a little fun too. This Hawaiian marinade is good, really good. Plus, how good is that sweet bite of pineapple with the chicken, green pepper and red onion. Goooood!
You will need to marinate the chicken, but you can always prep and marinate the chicken overnight so it’s ready for dinner the next.
Add this with some coconut rice or noodles and you have a simple and delicious dinner.
