🍢 Sweet & Spicy Buckaroo Chicken Skewers

Serves: 8–10

Prep Time: 20 min

Cook Time: 12–15 min

Perfect For: Family reunions, BBQs, and backyard parties

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5” cubes

1 red bell pepper, chopped into large chunks

1 orange bell pepper, chopped into large chunks

1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

1 red onion, cut into wedges

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

¾ cup Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam (any heat level you love)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp lime juice

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions:

Make the Marinade:
In a medium bowl, whisk together Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam, olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Marinate the Chicken:
Add chicken cubes to a large zip-top bag or bowl and pour in half of the marinade. Reserve the other half for basting. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours).

Build the Skewers:
Thread chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and pineapple alternately onto skewers.

Grill:
Heat grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates and grill skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning every few minutes and basting with the reserved marinade. Cook until chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred.

Serve:
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve over rice, with potato salad, or just pass them around on a platter!

🔥 Pro Tip:

Use the extra pepper jam as a dipping sauce on the side—it’s a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults.
