Instructions

Assemble kabobs: Thread chicken cubes, green and red pepper squares, red onion chunks, and pineapple chunks alternately onto skewers to create colorful kabobs.
Marinate: In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, and soy sauce. Place the assembled kabobs in a shallow dish and brush about one-third of the marinade onto them, making sure to spoon out the marinade first to avoid contaminating the rest. Refrigerate and let marinate for 15-20 minutes to absorb flavors.
Grill: Preheat a grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. Brush remaining marinade on the kabobs throughout grilling. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Notes

Use wooden or metal skewers; if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling to prevent burning.
You can substitute the barbecue sauce with your favorite homemade or store-bought variety for different flavor profiles.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for variety.
Make sure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Serve kabobs with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
