Ingredients:
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 Teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
1 cup fresh sugar snap peas or snow pea pods, strings and tips removed
1 cup fresh or canned pineapple cubes
1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 Cup apricot spreadable fruit
1 1/2 Teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
1 cup fresh sugar snap peas or snow pea pods, strings and tips removed
1 cup fresh or canned pineapple cubes
1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 Cup apricot spreadable fruit
Directions:
Sprinkle chicken with about half of the jerk seasoning; toss gently to coat. Cut any large pea pods in half crosswise
Alternately thread chicken, sugar snap peas, pineapple, and sweet pepper onto 4 long (12) or 8 shorter metal
skewers*, leaving about 1/4 inch between pieces
For sauce: In a small saucepan, combine remaining jerk seasoning and the spreadable fruit. Cook and stir just until spreadable fruit is melted; set aside. Place kabobs on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning once and brushing occasionally with sauce during the last 3 minutes of grilling.
Makes 4 (1-skewer) servings If using wooden skewers, soak in enough water to cover for at least 1 hour before using. Stir together ingredients
