Directions
-
Prepare the marinade by combining 2 cl apple juice concentrate, 1 minced garlic clove (or 1 tsp garlic powder), 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp peeled, grated fresh ginger), 1/4 cup dry sherry (or salt-free chicken broth), 1/4 cup drained pineapple juice, and the soy sauce in a large bowl.
-
Cut 4 (8-oz) boned, skinless chicken breast halves into 1-inch cubes.
-
Clean 16 mushrooms and remove stems; cut 1 small red onion and 1 green or sweet red pepper (seeded) into 1-inch squares.
-
Drain 8 oz canned unsweetened pineapple chunks.
-
Add the chicken cubes, mushrooms, onions, and peppers to the marinade bowl and stir to coat evenly.
-
Let the mixture marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
-
Thread the chicken, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and pineapple chunks onto eight 9- to 10-inch wooden skewers, alternating ingredients.
-
Broil the skewers 3 to 4 inches from the heat source for 7 to 9 minutes per side, or barbecue over hot coals for 12 to 15 minutes.
-
Brush the kebabs several times with the remaining marinade while cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
-
Serve immediately, optionally over a bed of pilaf.

Note
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.
For microwave preparation: Arrange skewers on a 12-inch glass baking dish and cook on high for about 7 minutes, turning halfway through.
Ensure chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165&# 194;°F/74ðC) before serving.
Leftover marinade that has touched raw chicken should not be reused for brushing unless boiled for 2 minutes first.
