We loved this!!! The only change I made was using Teriaki sauce rather than soy sauce, because I didn't have any on hand. Everyone loved them!!Definitely marinate over night. Excellent with pork also. Fresh pineapple is the only way to go!

I read some of the other reviews and incorporated various ideas, and whatever I did came out amazing! My boyfriend kept saying "wow" as he was eating it. Now that I've tried it out on us, it would be a great recipe for a dinner party. Here's what I did: -Made double the marinade, using fresh ginger and garlic (and I only did 2 chicken breasts; so if I were doing the full 4, I would quadruple the marinade) -Marinated the chicken first, in one bag, for 2 hours -Marinated fresh pineapple with red peppers, green peppers & purple onions in a separate bag, for 1-2 hours -Threaded chicken and pineapple/veggies on separate kabobs -Put the chicken on the grill, turning every 5 minutes, for a total of about 20 minutes -Put the pineapple/veggies on the grill for the last 10 minutes, turning once halfway through -Meanwhile, heated the marinade from the pineapple/veggies over the stove with a little cornstarch to thicken it -Served over coconut rice (2 cups jasmine ride, 1 cup coconut milk, 2 cups water, 1/2 tsp salt & 2 Tbsp shredded coconut in rice cooker on regular setting), with the thickened marinade drizzled over the top AMAZING!!

Oh my! These are absolutetly delicious! I've made these twice now with excellent results and it's now become one of my husband's favorites. To "health" this up just a little I used low sodium soy sauce, fresh garlic, brown sugar Splenda and replaced the sherry with rice wine vinegar. I mixed it altogether along with the sesame oil and ginger. I put three quarters of the marinade along with the chicken into a ziploc freezer bag and let it marinate all day. The remaining marinade I put into another ziploc bag along with fresh pineapple, viadlia onion, and red and yellow peppers. I skewered the meat separate from fruit and veggies as they cook at different rates. I love when so few simple ingredients combine to create something really special. This was wonderful served with rice!

YUMMMMMMMMMMMY! I used rice vinegar instead of sherry as others suggested, and I paired the kebabs with the Tropiguac (Hawaiian-style Guacamole) also from this site and blue corn chips. Could not have had a fresher meal with some new flavors!

Made these last night. Excellent! I did make a couple of alterations. I added the juice of half a lime to the marinade and used chunks of green bell pepper and onions on the skewer with the chicken and pineapple. While it was cooking outside, even our dog was freaking out because it smelled so good! Later my husband asked me where I wanted to eat out Friday night. He said that it didn't matter to him because it wouldn't taste as good as what I cooked last night! Huge compliment! Huge!

Marinated for 2 hours using fresh pineapple. Enzyme in pineapple made the chicken pasty on the inside, not pleasant. I liked the marinade but perhaps will just use onions & peppers next time instead of pineapple and make pineapple fried rice instead to add that 'Hawaiian' touch.

I'm definitely adding this recipe to my regular schedule, tasty and low in fat. I'm giving it four stars because I did change a couple of things, first I used fresh ginger and garlic and doubled the amounts, and I also used rice vinegar instead of the sherry as others have suggested and I think it would be too sweet without it. I also splashed in some of the pineapple juice and let the chicken and veges marinate overnight. I marinaded the chicken in one bowl and in another I had some onion and capsicum marinading to be safe. I didn't put the pineapple in the marinade, for some reason I just hate pineapple when it's not on its own, but that's just me.

I made these for dinner last night, and I marinated for only 2 hours. The flavors really soaked into the chicken-yummy and very pretty!
