Directions

Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, ground allspice, and minced Scotch bonnet (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 3
Add chicken cubes, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Step 4
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
Step 5
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of rice or a light salad.
