Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, lime juice, brown sugar, olive oil, sesame oil, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onions onto skewers and arrange them on a platter.
Cook the kebabs using your preferred method: grill for 15–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F.
Serve with chopped cilantro and extra lime wedges, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more chipotle chili powder or fresh chilies.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Feel free to swap vegetables based on your preferences.
