Hawaiian Kabobs

The delicious combination of flavors & the grilled pineapple really makes this come together. I have posted the original recipe, which is meatless, but have added chicken with great results (just be sure to marinade separately from veggies and discard chicken marinade). This is great for summer BBQs and camping! Prep time includes bare-minimum marinating time.
