Hawaiian Burger Inspired Chicken Skewers

Servings: 2-4 (easily doubled!)

Ingredients:
2 lb chicken breast or thigh
8 oz ham (or bacon)
1 bell pepper
1 onion (or 1 c pearl onions)
2 Tbs coconut, avocado, or MCT oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2-inch piece ginger, minced
1/4 c pineapple juice

For Serving:
Mixed Greens or Butter/Romaine Lettuce
Fresh tomato, sliced
Ketchup or BBQ sauce (try to find low sugar/low salt varieties)

Directions:
1. Slice chicken, ham, bell pepper, and onion into chunks (about 1/2″-1″) and place in a large bowl.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix gently with hands. Let marinade for 15 minutes, up to 4 hours.
3. Drain chicken mixture, and place onto skewers, alternating ingredients. Try not to overcrowd or they won’t cook as well!
4. Prep grill and barbecue 5-6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through*
*Note: if chicken starts to burn, you can always finish cooking in the oven at 350 degrees.
5. To serve: plate skewers on a bed of lettuce or tomato – it tastes just like a Hawaiian Burger,
without the bun**!
**Note: You could serve with gluten free buns if it fits your meal plan.
