Sweet_BBQ_Chicken_KabobsSweet Barbecue Chicken Kabobs

Quick, easy, and healthy kabobs from Kraftfoods.com.

Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 25 min
Makes: 4 servings, one kabob each

Ingredients
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
2 cups  fresh pineapple chunks (1-1/2 inch)
1 each: red and green pepper, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup  KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce
3 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

Instructions
HEAT grill to medium-high heat. Using 8 long wooden skewers (placing 2, side-by-side, for each kabob), thread chicken alternately with pineapple and peppers onto skewers to make 4 kabobs.

MIX barbecue sauce and juice concentrate; brush some of the sauce mixture onto kabobs.

GRILL 8 to 10 min. or until chicken is done, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce mixture.

Kraft Kitchens Tips
Note: Soak wooden skewers in water 30 min. before using. Wrap ends with foil before grilling to prevent them from burning.

Variation: Prepare recipe as directed, substituting 1 lb. salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks, for the chicken. Or, you can substitute 1 lb. cleaned extra large shrimp for the chicken, but you will need to reduce the grilling time to 4 to 6 min. or until shrimp turn pink.
