Grill up some Delicious Chicken Skewers this Summer!

Are you ready for a bunch of delicious and healthy grilling recipes? I have a ton being photographed this month so I can keep sharing them throughout grilling season.

We grill all summer long — starting early in the spring until the snow hits. I love how easy grilling is, and the extra flavor added to meats.

One of our favorites is this marinated Pork Chop recipe last summer — so if you’re ready to get going, check out that recipe also! If you find yourself in the mood for seafood, I recommend checking out these Shrimp Kabobs on the Grill.

These skewers are a celebration of one of my favorite food combos — Canadian Bacon and cooked pineapple. Hawaiian Pizza was always my favorite.

I also ADORE these Hawaiian Chicken Burgers, and this is similar to that except on skewer form.

For these delicious Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, you’ll need:

• Jones Dairy Farm Hickory Smoked Canadian Bacon
• Pineapple (canned in juice or fresh)
• Colorful Bell Peppers
• Red Onion
• Chicken – boneless thighs or breasts work for this!
• Coconut Aminos (can sub tamari to keep it gluten free)
• Sea Salt
• Ginger

Jones Dairy Farm’s delicious sausage and bacon products are great for adding flavor and protein to meals! I always have their certified gluten free meats in my freezer ready to go.

If you love Canadian Bacon, you might also want to try:

• Lightened up Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
• Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breasts
• Keto Broccoli Casserole with Ham

How to Make Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Step 1: Add chicken chunks to a bowl or storage container, and cover with coconut aminos, sea salt and ginger powder. Stir to combine, and then cover and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour up to overnight.

Step 2: Add the vegetables to a bowl, and drizzle with avocado oil. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Thread skewers with marinated chicken, Jones Dairy Farm Hickory Smoked Canadian Bacon, pineapple, onions, and bell peppers.

Step 4: Heat a grill to about 400º F, and grill the skewers for about 6 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through.

Tips & Variations for Grilled Chicken Skewers

No Coconut Aminos? I use coconut aminos because I am allergic to soy, and it’s a healthier alternative to soy products. It’s also gluten free. If you need to keep these gluten free, you can sub 1/4 cup tamari plus 1/4 cup of water. You can also use 1/4 of organic soy sauce plus 1/4 cup of water.

Make these Low Carb/Keto: These are already low in carb, but you can further reduce the carbs for a keto diet by omitting the pineapple.

Add Other Veggies into the Mix: Olives, artichoke hearts, zucchini, and eggplant are all great options.

TIPS for the best teriyaki grilled chicken skewers:

Separate the chicken from the other ingredients: It’s an artform to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies aren’t too charred. If you’re worried about your chicken being undercooked, skewer the chicken and the ham/pineapple/veggies separately.

Cook these Indoors: Look good, but no BBQ? You can use an indoor grill pan. Generously oil the pan, heat it over medium high heat, and grill the skewers on your stovetop.
