Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Thread chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through.
Brush with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, turning to coat all sides.
Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to use other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes.
You can marinate the chicken in BBQ sauce ahead of time for extra flavor.
Serve with rice, salad, or grilled corn for a full meal.
