Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cut the chicken breast and pineapple into uniform pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches each.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  4. Place the chicken in the marinade and let it soak for at least 10 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 450°F.
  6. Assemble the skewers by threading the marinated chicken and pineapple pieces, alternating between the two.
  7. Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through and pineapple is caramelized.
  8. Optionally, brush leftover marinade over the skewers while grilling for extra flavor.
  9. Let the skewers rest for a few minutes after grilling before serving.
