- Puree mixture in a blender or food processor.
- Pour back into the small mixing bowl, and stir in the minced cilantro, set aside to use as glaze during grilling. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Skewer pieces of chicken and pineapple on metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers.

- Brush the chicken with the pineapple glaze periodically while grilling.
- Garnish skewers with chopped cilantro, and serve.

Notes
The natural sugar that releases from pineapple when cooked, may cause a sticky situation for the grill grates. The chicken and pineapple tends to have trouble releasing, so we recommend lightly oiling a grill plate to use, or grilling the skewers on top of foil.

This recipe is amazing!! Everyone loved eating these skewers!
This looks great but was wondering how much diced pineapple you purée for the glaze. The only pineapple listed is chunked, which I would assume is for skewing with the chicken. Thanks!
This was awesome. My whole family devoured it. As far as how much pineapple to puree, we put about 1/2-2/3 cup into the blender and it worked out fine. Of course we pretty much doubled how many skewers we made (only needed to double the amount of pineapple and chicken, there was plenty of sauce). We served it with grilled asparagus. We’ll definitely be using this recipe again!
In the cookbook there is an extra cup of pineapple listed for the glaze. I usually use a little less pineapple for the skewers and add green bell pepper. We love this recipe.
