Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce reduces by one-fourth (about 8 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Cut chicken into uniform chunks (1-1.5 inches). Thread about ten chunks on each skewer, yielding approximately seven kabobs.
- Preheat grill to 400°F. Place kabobs on grates, reduce heat to 350°F, and baste with the glaze. Cook for six minutes, turning and basting every two minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve hot with jalapeno pineapple salsa.
