Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Calabrian chili paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast (cut into 1-inch dice)
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch dice)
  • 2 cups diced pineapple (1-inch dice)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. This recipe originally appeared on Giada Entertains. Episode: 70's Throwback Party.
  2. Special equipment: twelve 10-inch bamboo skewers, soaked
  3. In a large resealable bag, combine 1/4 cup of the apricot preserves, the tamari, chili paste and sesame oil. Add the diced chicken and toss to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  4. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Thread each skewer in the following order: pepper, chicken, pineapple, chicken, pepper, chicken, pineapple. Repeat until all the chicken is used, reserve the marinade in the bag.
  5. Drizzle the skewers with the olive oil and place them in the hot grill pan. Cook, rotating often, until the chicken is cooked through and edges of the pineapple are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, place the reserved marinade and the remaining 2 tablespoons apricot preserves in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Baste the skewers with this mixture 2 or 3 times during cooking.
