For the Marinade:
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce of choice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
For the Kabobs:
- 1 pound chicken breast, chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, 1-inch cubed or sliced
- 15–18 mushrooms, stems removed, whole or halved
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch squares
- 1/2 red or white onion, chopped into 1-inch squares
- 1–2 stalks green onion, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and sesame seeds until fully incorporated.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chopped chicken in a Zip-top bag or container, pour the teriyaki sauce over it, remove air, seal, and massage the chicken to coat evenly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
- Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, red pepper, mushroom, and onion onto skewers in desired order.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 11-14 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill, let them rest for 5 minutes, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve hot over rice or your choice of side.
