Hawaiian Shish Kabobs

INGREDIENTS:

• 1lb boneless chicken breasts
• 1 purple onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 container of button mushrooms
• A few chunks of pineapple
• salt and pepper
• *The key to this recipe is to slice everything into equal sizes (I like 1 inch x 1 inch pieces), so that it cooks equally!

DIRECTIONS:

• Turn grill on medium-high
• Slice all the ingredients into equal-sized chunks/pieces
• Create an assembly line, for ex., chicken, pineapple, onion, red bell pepper, mushroom
• Using skewers, start putting one piece of each food onto the skewer and then repeat the pattern until there is no more room on the skewer
• Once all the skewers are done, sprinkle them with salt and pepper
• Put the skewers on the grill
• I grill them for 5-6mins per side (won't take long to cook since the chicken is cut into smaller pieces)
• When done, remove from the grill and ENJOY!

OTHER OPTIONS:

• Enjoy these skewers over rice or on top of a bed of spinach
• Add a healthy fat like avocado (or, to keep with the Hawaiian theme, mix in some macadamia nuts and/or cashews)
• Feel free to omit or add any veggies/proteins of your liking (cherry tomatoes would be a great addition, as would shrimp!)
