Recipe: Chicken and Pineapple Kabobs

The 4th of July is such a wonderful holiday full of family, friends, sunshine … and terrible, terrible food. If your family is anything like mine, you always have hot dogs, hamburgers, some kind of mayo based salad – you get the gist. It is up to me to bring the healthy, delicious food options.

Lunch today was no exception.

I made these Chicken and Pineapple Kabobs for my midwest family and you would have thought I slaved away in the kitchen for hours creating a renowned masterpiece based on their reactions. Everyone had a lunch of protein and veggies with no complaints! This quick and easy 4th of July meal was approved by grandparents, husbands, and babies alike.

But here’s my secret. I am not a cook. If a recipe has too many ingredients or will take more than an hour, I am going to move on. These Chicken and Pineapple Kabobs are so quick and easy that they definitely fit into my “lazy chef” requirements – only a few steps, not a lot of measuring, no bizarre ingredients that I will never use again. If you’re like me, you’ll find yourself coming back to these kabobs all summer.

Not a meat eater? Remove the chicken and replace with extra firm tofu or double up on the whole mushrooms. Delish! 

Now onto the good stuff…
