The other day I was inspired to come up with something different for dinner. I had been going to my old staples a lot recently, so why not try something new?? I kind of made this up, but based on ideas I have seen before. It is super simple, only a few ingredients, and really yummy! This is probably a better summertime meal, but it was kind of warm a few days ago and I wanted something cheery and lighter. So, voila! I actually cooked these on my George Foreman grill, but obviously if you can use the outdoor grill, that would be best. Here is what I did:
Paleo Hawaiian Chicken Kebabs
(serves 2-3)
- 1-2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 6 oz sliced ham (thicker than deli-style), cut into large pieces
- 1/2 c pineapple chunks
- 1 T tamari sauce
- 1 T raw honey
Preparation
Heat a grill (or grill pan, or George Foreman) to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine tamari sauce and honey. Grab some skewers and skewer the chicken chunks, ham, and pineapple chunks, alternating the pieces. Use a pastry brush to brush the sauce all over the skewers to let them soak up some of the marinade.
Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through. NOTE: watch the skewers carefully- the honey will make them more likely to catch fire from grill flames and singe, so monitor the heat and grill placement.
I served these with some oven-roasted sweet potatoes, and it was a delicious and healthy meal! You could also add other veggies to the skewers (red onion would be a great addition), and it would be great too. Enjoy!
