Instructions

Whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, lime juice, brown sugar, olive oil, sesame oil, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Add the chicken to the marinade, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F.
Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onions onto skewers and place them on a large plate or platter.
Cook the kebabs by grilling for 15–20 minutes or baking in the oven for 15–20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F.
Serve with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, as desired.

Notes

For more intensity in flavor, marinate the chicken longer than 30 minutes.
Feel free to use any combination of vegetables you prefer for skewering.
Make it a complete meal by serving the kebabs over rice or with a side salad.
