- 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
Prep the Veggies and Pineapple: Cut the bell pepper, onion, and pineapple into chunks that are about the same size as the chicken pieces.
Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, bell pepper, onion, and pineapple onto the skewers, alternating each ingredient. Be sure not to overcrowd the skewers.
Grill the Kabobs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are tender.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the kabobs from the grill, let them rest for a couple of minutes, and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- Chicken: Thighs are juicier, but chicken breasts work perfectly as well.
- Marinate Time: The longer you marinate, the more flavor the chicken will absorb.
- Veggies: You can use any veggies you like—zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes work great too.
- Grill Tip: Keep an eye on the kabobs as grilling times may vary depending on your grill's heat level.
