Instructions

Marinate the Chicken

To a small bowl add pineapple juice, tamari sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika and garlic. Whisk together until combined.
Add chicken cubes to a large ziplock bag.
Pour the marinade into the ziplock bag with the chicken. Release as much air from the bag as you can and seal. Toss the chicken around to coat the chicken with the marinade.
Let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight if possible.

Build & Grill the Kabobs

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and start to assemble the kabobs.
To a metal kabob skewer, add zucchini, red pepper, yellow pepper, onion and chicken. Repeat until the skewer is full. Continue to add on skewers until everything is used up
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
Place kabobs on the grill and grill each side for 3-4 minutes, until charred. Brush the remaining marinade on the kabobs for one last flavor burst. Grill for 2 more minutes.
Remove from grill and serve!
