Tropical Chipotle Chicken Skewers
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 3 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup California Black Ripe Olives, whole, pitted
- 1 pineapple, diced (1-inch)
- 8 12-inch wooden skewers, soaked in warm water
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor, puree together ketchup, pineapple juice, chilies and garlic. Stir in cilantro and reserve 1 cup of sauce for dipping. Pour remaining chipotle sauce into a large bowl and combine with chicken. Cover, refrigerate and set aside to marinate for 15-30 minutes. Prepare skewers by threading each with a California Ripe Olive, pineapple chunk and a piece of marinated chicken. Repeat pattern two times, then finish each skewer with one more California Ripe Olive. Grill skewers over medium-high heat for 7-9 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Serve two skewers on each plate accompanied with a 1/4 cup of dipping sauce.
