Chicken Shish Kabob With Pineapple Sauce

Submitted by kathryn.kerisit

"This is one of our family's favorite recipes. It can be used with chicken or pork. The marinade is a must--the longer the better! We prefer it with red, orange, or yellow bell peppers, but the original recipe calls for green bell peppers. The sauce is especially tasty too! It's similar to a sweet and sour sauce."

This was a wonderful dinner. I didn't have mushrooms, but had zucchini and it was great. I could have eaten all the skewers by myself!! Even my VERY picky 92 year old Mom enjoyed it...and she hates eating altogether. This o

These were absolutely delicious! Relatively simple to prepare and oh goodness that sauce!!! My fiancé makes me sweet and sour chicken the Chinese way, but this sauce with the vinegar and pineapple juice was just divine - the pineapple is a lovely addition!

DELICIOUS! I made these for a nice summer dinner tonight and they were amazing. I made them with a side of brown rice and as suggested by a reviewer, used pineapple chunks instead of mushroom. Great meal! Will make again!

These were excellent! I made these for a barbecue and they were eaten up as fast as I could grill them.
