    This recipe is SUPER easy and can be made from ingredients you probably already have in your cupboards and fridge. It’s also a very pretty, colorful kabob which is fun to make…which might entice some lazy kids, OR significant others into the kitchen to help! They would be wonderful for a summer dinner party, or just a change from your standard kabob

    Ingredients

    • 1/3 Cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
    • 1 Can Pineapple Chunks, Juice Reserved [I cut up some FRESH Pineapple and just used the canned pineapple juice]
    • 1/3 Cup Pineapple Juice Reserved
    • 3/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
    • Salt & Pepper to taste
    • 1 Large Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breast, Fat removed, Cubed
    • 1/4 – 1/3 Cup melted Butter
    • 2 Teaspoons Packed Brown Sugar
    • 1/4 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Nutmeg
    • 15-20 or so smaller strawberries [around the same size as the chicken chunks and pineapple chunks)

    Directions

    1. In a shallow glass bowl combine Lemon Juice, Pineapple Juice, Salt, Pepper and half the Cinnamon. Mix together. Add Cubed Chicken and marinate for one hour or longer. [I've found that a GREAT way to marinate meat is to dump your ingredients straight into a freezer bag and mix together. Add your cubed chicken, seal bag and massage the marinade into your meat. Clean up is a breeze and it is way more convenient to have a sealed bag in the fridge than a shallow bowl containing liquids!]
    2. Preheat your grill to medium. [If you are using a George Foreman I would increase the temp between med-high so that you're chicken cooks a little quicker!]
    3. In a small bowl combine the melted butter, remaining cinnamon, Brown Sugar and Nutmeg until sugar dissolves.
    4. Very lightly oil grate.
    5. With metal, or your wooden soaked skewers, arrange Pineapple, Chicken and Strawberries on each stick [approximately 4 to 6 pieces each].Brush kabobs with butter mixture and place on grill. Make sure to turn them so Chicken is cooked on all sides and strawberries are sizzling, approximately 8-10 minutes.

      You didn't say what temperature setting to use. Some George Foremen grills have "low, medium, high" options. Mine has temperature options from 300 Fahrenheit to 450.
