Ingredients
1/2 cup pineapple juice (alternate: water or chicken broth)
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel, yellow part only
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
Dash ground red pepper
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 slices (3/4 inch thick) fresh pineapple, cut into 8 chunks each
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into bite-size chunks (alternate: large green bell pepper)
8 (12 inch) wooden skewers
Preheat grill or broiler.
TIP Soak wooden skewers thoroughly in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning while on the grill.
Mix pineapple juice, lemon peel, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger and ground red pepper in a small bowl until blended; pour half of this marinade mixture into a small bowl; cover and reserve for serving kebabs. Add oil to remaining mixture for marinating.
Thread onto skewers alternating chicken with pineapple and bell pepper. Brush evenly with some of the remaining marinade mixture.
Grill or broil skewers for 2 to 5 minutes or until heated through, turning occasionally and basting with marinade.
Serve with reserved pineapple juice mixture.
