Originally served at the Disneyland Hotel as an appetizer for special events, this kabob recipe is quick and easy and can be used as an entrée, or, on smaller skewers, as an appetizer.
Sweet & Sour Sauce:
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 ounces butter
Reserved juice from pineapple can (used for skewers)
2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
Melt butter in a medium sized skillet. Add onions and pepper and sauté until tender. Add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes.
bamboo skewers
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 10-ounce can pineapple chunks (reserve juice)
1 6-ounce jar cocktail onions
1 large green pepper, cut into small squares
Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for 30 minutes to prevent burning when cooked.
Assemble brochettes in this order: chicken, onion, pepper, chicken, pineapple, chicken, onion, pepper and chicken. Repeat until all are assembled.
Cook as desired (broil, bake, barbecue or sauté) until fully cooked.
Serve immediately with sweet & sour sauce.
