These kebabs were inspired by the Caribbean flavor combination of chicken, fresh pineapple, chile pepper, and lime. Grilling the pineapple gives it smoky depth and enhances its sweetness which is a nice contrast to the spicy marinade. If you like heat, marinate the chicken overnight and, if you don't, 20 minutes will do the trick. Use metal skewers instead of the wooden variety if you have them on hand. Enjoy the kebabs along with some grilled bell peppers for more color and flavor. For a side dish, slice a red onion into rings and place on the grill with the kebabs. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until charred; chop and toss with cooked rice.
