1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 20 ounce can Meijer Brand Pineapple Chunks in 100% Juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce (plus more to taste)
1 pound True Goodness by Meijer Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, cut into 1” chunks
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1” chunks
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1” chunks

INSTRUCTIONS
If using wooden skewers, fill a shallow pan with water, and soak the skewers for 15-20 minutes to prevent burning. You may need to put a heavy pot or can on top of the skewers to keep them submerged. No need to soak if using metal skewers.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the garlic; coconut aminos, soy sauce, or tamari; avocado oil; honey; ginger; 1/2 cup of the juice from the canned pineapple; and the hot sauce. Whisk to combine. Scoop out about 1 cup of the marinade and set aside.
Add the chicken chunks to the remaining marinade, and then toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but preferably closer to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
When marinating time is up, preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates liberally.
Thread the pineapple chunks, marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini onto the skewers. Brush liberally with the reserved reduced marinade.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and grill on each side for 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the veggies are tender, but not mushy. Serve immediately.
