Ingredients
1 lb Boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
7 oz Ham steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 can Canned pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup Teriyaki marinade
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast with the teriyaki marinade. Stir to coat evenly, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, or prepare charcoal briquettes until they reach medium temperature (roughly 350–400°F).
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Thread metal or soaked wooden skewers with the chicken, ham, and pineapple pieces, alternating them in a pattern until all are used. You may have some ham and pineapple remaining; feel free to thread those together on separate skewers.
Place the kabobs directly on the grill grates. Cook for 7–9 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest point and the edges are lightly charred.
Transfer the finished kabobs to a serving platter and serve immediately while hot. Pair with steamed rice and broccoli for a complete meal.
Comments
This recipe hits the Charlotte grocery sweet spot: chicken, ham, and canned pineapple are staples at every chain (Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, Kroger), and bottled teriyaki marinade keeps the shopping list tight. The 90-minute time is honest if you include marinating, but active prep is closer to 20 minutes—assembly and grilling move quickly. A real weeknight win for four people, though it needs to come off the grill hot and does not reheat well, so plan this for when everyone can eat together. The cost per serving lands around $4–5 depending on whether you buy deli ham or package ham, making it budget-friendly for a protein-forward meal.
