I love grilled kabobs, but wanted to create a BBQ sauce that was a little different than the usual. The fresh summer pineapple, veggies and chicken blend so nicely with the Thai flavors of the BBQ sauce. I eat these on a bed of vermicelli noodles (bonus- you don’t even have to turn on the stove)! or rice pilaf, if you prefer. Enjoy!

Ingredients

For the kabobs,

  • 2 small zucchini, sliced into 1/2 inch circles
  • 1-1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1 inch chunks

For the Thai BBQ sauce,

  • 3/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce
  • 2 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon fish sauce

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for 5 minutes. Preheat BBQ grill to 400 degrees F. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
