Ingredients:
2 lbs. skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 14-oz cans pineapple chunks in natural juices, drained (reserved liquid)
2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup low-sugar ketchup
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp. fresh ginger or ginger paste
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
18 12-inch wooden skewers

Directions:
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Combine 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, oil & ginger. Pour half of the liquid into a large bowl & reserve the rest for basting. Add chicken to bowl & toss to coat all chicken with marinade. Let chicken marinate for 45 minutes (but no longer than an hour).

Heat grill to a medium heat (about 350 degrees). Thread chicken onto skewers, alternating with pineapple chunks, peppers & onion. Place kebabs on a greased grill rack, grill for 5 minutes, & then turn kebabs. Brush kebabs with reserved marinade & grill for 5 minutes or until done.
