My family loved it! The chicken was very moist and flavorful. I added a small red potatoe and zucchini to the skewer. It was a complete meal. I definately will make this again. Can't wait. -
These are very delicious kebabs with a definite Polynesian flavor that hints of sweet and sour with tones of ginger. I think this recipe would also work well with shrimp or chunks of ham. A real winner! Thanks, Inez! -
These kabobs were the hit of my Hawaiian Luau! I made skewers with chicken and skewers with pork. For the chicken, I actually purchased the frozen boneless chicken breasts from Sams Club. For the pork, I bought boneless pork chops trimmed the fat and cubed. For veggies, I also used onion and red pepper. I didn't serve the rice, since it was easier for people to eat standing up without it.

I have made this twice, once using chicken and the second using stew meat and both were awesome. However the second time(with stew meat) I added 1/4cup of rice wine vinegar for added acidity to help tenderizer the meat and 1/4tsp of sesame oil for extra flavor. I also added 1tsp of corn starch to the reserve marinade and then boiled it to create a thicker sauce for basting. This recipe is a keeper. -
THIS IS OUTSTANDING!!!! Getting ready for a trip to Kauai and thought we would get in the spirit. They were moist, tender and the chicken was full of the marinade flavor. I added about 3 Tbsp chili oil to the marinade after boiling it and this gave a good little kick.

What an easy and delicious recipe! One change I made was to use fresh pineapple chunks in place of the canned pineapple. I also doubled the marinade and used the leftover to baste the veggies and fruit while on the grill. The chicken was very tender after marinating and all of the flavors complemented each other beautifully. We will use this recipe again and again. -
I substituted pork tenderloin for the chicken breast. I also cooked the meat and veggies on separate skewers, it is easier to get everything cooked the right amount that way. Received many compliments from my dinner guests! -
This recipe was super easy and VERY , VERY TASTE. We used beef instead of chicken and it turned out great. Can't wait to try it with chicken next time. We did our veggie separate so they wouldn't get over cooked. Just brushed them with the marinade and cooked them for about 10 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!!

I have to admit that I was skeptical about this recipe as I was preparing the marinade, but it turned out very well. I used red onion and red pepper instead of the tomatoes and mushrooms. Everyone in our family liked it.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
