Serving6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg

- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 fresh pineapple, cubed
- 1 Tablespoon honey

Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl combine your chicken, egg, paprika, onion powder, sugar, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined (mixing with hands or a food processor works best) and roll into one inch balls.
- Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are all the way cooked through and not pink in the middle.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and place on a pan rubbed with olive oil.
- Let the meatballs brown on all sides, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice a fresh pineapple. Using the same pan, brown the pineapple. I drizzled honey over my pineapple to give it a sweeter taste, but this is optional.
- Cook until pineapple is browned.
- Using a toothpick, pierce a pineapple chunk and a meatball and place on plate.
- Drizzle teriyaki sauce over the kabob.
