GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

HELP I"M MELTING!  But no complaints.  We have been waiting for the hot weather and now we have it.  So today, get out in the yard on the grill.  Chicken skewers with veggies.  Quick, easy and good for the whole family.  Make them tonight!

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

2 large chicken breasts skinless and boneless (makes 4 half breasts)
(you should get 6 cubes from each half) to make 4 servings
8 mushrooms
8 pieces of pepper (4 red and 4 yellow)
8 pieces of fresh pineapple

Marinade
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp dry mustard

Whisk all the marinade ingredients, put into a large plastic bag.  Cut the chicken into cubes and marinate in the bag, in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.  Arrange chicken and veggies and fruit onto the skewers (make sure you have soaked the skewers in water for at least an hour so they don't burn).  While the chicken is on the grill, in a small saucepan, cook the remaining marinade until reduced by half (cooking will destroy any bacteria).  When the chicken is done spoon the cooked marinade over the skewers.  Serve with rice pilaf.

Thanks for stopping in today
