These Pineapple Lime Chicken Kebabs are slightly tart and incredibly juicy — perfect on an indoor griller or cooked outdoors.

I’m currently loving the combination of lime and pineapple. It brightens dishes with tang and sweetness, and it works wonderfully with chicken. These Pineapple Lime Chicken Kebabs are a healthy, flavorful option for weeknight dinners or weekend barbecues.

This recipe had been sitting in my drafts for some time, but with grilling season in full swing it felt right to share. The kebabs are simple to prepare and versatile: cook them on a health griller indoors or over coals outside.

Boneless chicken breasts don’t strictly need long marinating, but letting them sit in the honey-lime marinade improves the flavor and keeps the meat juicy. If you’re short on time, simply baste the kebabs frequently with the marinade while they cook.

Note: marinades with honey or other sweet ingredients can burn quickly. Grill over medium heat or over coals to avoid charring while still getting a nice glaze.
