Pineapple and Chicken Skewers


Ingredients:
*1 cup pineapple, diced
*1/4 cup olive oil
*3 cloves garlic, minced
*1 Tbsp. ginger, minced
*3 Tbsp. lemon juice
*1 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, minced
*6 chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
*fresh pineapple chunks, as many or as few you like

Directions:
1.  In food processor, combine 1 cup diced pineapple, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt and lemon juice.

2.  Puree until smooth.  Stir in cilantro.

3.  Lightly salt and pepper chicken chunks.

4.  Skewer chicken and pineapple onto skewers, alternating as you like.

5.  Lightly salt entire skewer**. 

6.  Place sheet of tin foil over pre-heated grill.  Coat with olive oil.

7.  Place skewers on foil and brush with glaze.

8.  Grill 12-15 minutes over medium heat.  Turn skewers every few minutes and brush with more glaze.

Notes:  **This is optional, it's a liberty I took with the original recipe.  A little salt on the pineapple really accentuates the flavor.  Just don't over-do it.
