Preparation Time: 25 min
Cooking Time: 10 min
POINTS Value: 6
Serving Size: 4

INGREDIENTS:
1 pounds uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
1/2 medium pineapple
1 medium green pepper
1 medium sweet red pepper
1 large onion, Spanish
1/4 cup pineapple juice or orange juice
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp olive oil
2 sprays cooking spray
2 cups cooked white rice, kept hot

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut each chicken breast, pineapple, pepper and onion into approximately twenty-four 1-inch-thick pieces.
2. Combine chicken, pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce and oil in a large nonmetallic bowl; marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
3. Preheat grill. Lightly coat vegetables with cooking spray.
4. Thread 2 pieces of pepper, pineapple, chicken and onion onto each of 8 skewers. Brush with marinade. (Note: If using wooden skewers, soak in water to prevent charring.)
5. Grill over medium-hot coals until chicken is completely cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes, turning kebabs every 2 minutes so they're cooked evenly on all sides.

Yields 2 kebabs and 1/2 cup rice per serving.
