Enjoy the summer by turning on the grill and cooking these delicious Skinny BBQ Chicken Kabobs. Look for reduced-sugar barbecue sauce to lower the sugar content and reduce calories when preparing. Pair these yummy kabobs with a delicious side of vegetables and you have a quick and easy meal that you whole family will enjoy.

Pro tip: Soak wooden skewers in water 15-20 minutes before using. Wrap ends with foil before grilling to prevent them from burning. If using metal skewers, use just 1 metal skewer when assembling each kabob.

Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 8-10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, cubes (5 ounces)

  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup reduced-sugar BBQ sauce
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sugar orange juice
  • 8 bamboo skewers

Instructions

  1. Heat an outdoor grill (or indoor grill pan) over medium-high heat and oil it so the kabobs do not stick.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the BBQ sauce and orange juice, and brush the skewers with the BBQ sauce several times while grilling.
