Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs are tender, marinated chicken pieces with fresh pineapple and green bell pepper. After they’re grilled to perfection, these will become your new backyard barbecue staple!

Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs are marinated pieces of chicken, with pineapple and bell pepper threaded onto skewers then grilled.

Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs are absolutely delicious! With the grilling season coming soon I can’t think of a better thing to grill first.

These kebabs are so easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients: chicken breasts, green bell peppers, pineapple and a savory homemade teriyaki marinade. 

You can have the chicken soaking in the marinade in no time at all. After it’s marinated just thread it onto skewers with bell peppers and pineapple, then grill to tender perfection!

Serve these kebabs as soon as they’re done and you and your guests will be left with nothing but rave reviews!

Because the skewers are grilled, they get that nice smoky flavor and slightly crisp outside that is absolutely to die for. That crispy outside pairs perfectly with the juicy pineapple and crunchy bell peppers, giving you a texture experience that is out of this world! 

Keep in mind, this flavor and texture is only achieved by cooking something fresh off the grill, so be sure to dust off those grills and fire them up for these show-stopping Teriyaki Chicken Kebabs!

A FEW ALTERNATIVES

Want to spice things up a bit? Here is a few ways to add a little extra flare to your kebabs:

  • Spiciness levels: love all things hot? Add in your favorite hot sauce to the chicken marinade or up the red pepper flake dosage!
  • More color: if you’re looking for a bit more color or even just want more veggies, thread on some yellow, orange, or red bell peppers too! 
  • Onion: as well as more peppers, feel free to throw on some sliced red onion for that little extra something.

WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE A GRILL?

For those of you who don’t, no worries! Just use a grill pan on the stove top and grill those skewers until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.

HOW LONG DO TERIYAKI CHICKEN KEBABS LAST?

If stored in an airtight container in the fridge they can last up to 3 days. If you’re really pushing it, you could try for four, but I wouldn’t go beyond that.
