Ingredients:<\/strong>
\n1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size chunks
\n2 medium zucchini, cut into large chunks
\n2 cups large pineapple chunks, drained
\n1 Tbsp maple syrup
\n2 medium red onions, cut into large chunks
\n2 red bell peppers, cut into large chunks
\n8 wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 20 minutes
\nSalt and black pepper
\n3 Tbsp ketchup
\n1\/2 Tbsp soy sauce
\n1 Tbsp vinegar (rice wine or cider)
\n1 tsp sriracha hot sauce
\nFresh chopped cilantro (optional)<\/p>\n

How to make them:<\/strong>
\n1<\/strong> Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Thread chicken, veggies, and fruit onto skewers, alternating chicken, zucchini, pineapple, onion, and red pepper. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong> In a mixing bowl, stir together maple syrup, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha. Set aside half the glaze in a separate container; brush the rest onto the skewered food.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong> Grill until lightly charred and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Then use a clean brush to coat with extra sauce. Top with cilantro, if desired.<\/p>\n
