Hawaiian Kabobs

This recipe must be marinated for at least 3 hours, preferably 5-8.

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 Tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp cracked pepper

1 1/2 lbs boneless-skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1 large green bell pepper, chopped

8 oz mushrooms, whole

20 cherry tomatoes

Method

Combine first 7 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Mix the chicken, green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a large container. Pour the marinade over, cover, and shake to coat. Marinate at least 3 hours, more if possible.

Alternate meat and vegetables on skewers OR separate ingredients on individual skewers (the former is prettier, the latter is easier to cook). Cook the skewers over the grill or under the broiler, basting and turning frequently until meat is cooked. Serve with hot cooked rice.
