Ingredients

  • For the kabobs:
  • 1 lb Pure Flavor® Aurora Bites Mini Sweet Peppers
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 small red onion, cut into large pieces
  • 1 egg
  • ½ fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¾ cup butter crackers, crushed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Metal skewers
  • For the glaze:
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, crackers, egg, soy sauce, sesame oil & spices and mix well. Scoop and roll the mixture into 2-inch meatballs, then lay on a parchment paper linked sheet pan. Freeze the meatballs for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Make the kabobs by alternating peppers, onions, meatballs, and pineapple on skewers. Freeze the skewers 10 additional minutes.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together all glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer & thicken for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Heat grill to 375°F and brush grill grates with olive oil. Gently place the prepared skewers on grill and cook 15-20 minutes, turning once after 10 minutes. Ensure the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 5

Brush half of the glaze generously over the kabobs in the last minute of cooking.

Step 6

Remove the skewers from the grill and brush the remaining glaze on top. Serve as is or over rice, pasta, or your favorite whole grain.
