Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken

So fun to eat that your children won’t know it’s healthy too—try serving with Wow-y Maui Pasta Salad

12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes (24 cubes) (about 2 large breasts)
1 C fresh pineapple, diced (24 pieces) (or canned pineapple chunks in juice)
8 6-inch wooden skewers

For sauce:
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp lite soy sauce
2 Tbsp honey
2 tsp orange juice
1 tsp garlic, minced (about 1 clove)
1 tsp ginger, minced


1. Preheat a broiler or grill on medium-high heat.
2. Thread three chicken cubes and three pineapple chunks alternately on each skewer.
3. Combine ingredients for sauce and mix well; separate into two bowls and set one aside for later.
4. Grill skewers for 3–5 minutes on each side. Brush or spoon sauce (from the bowl that wasn’t set aside) onto chicken and pineapple about every other minute. Discard the sauce when done with this step.
5. To prevent chicken from drying out, finish cooking skewers in a 350 ÂșF oven immediately after grilling (to a minimum internal temperature of 165 °F). Using a clean brush or spoon, coat with sauce from the set-aside bowl before serving.

Tip: Use leftover chicken and sauce leftover from step 5 of the “Fried” Rice and Chicken
