Skewers of chicken, pineapple and veggies laid over a bed of angel hair is both a beautiful presentation and a delicious meal.


Ingredients

    3/4 C. soy sauce
    1/2 C. packed dark-brown sugar
    1 1/2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    2 Tbs. dark Asian sesame oil
    1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in juice, drained, reserving 1/3 C. juice
    2 lb. boneless, skinned chicken breasts, cut into 3x1-inch strips
    2 medium-size Maui or other sweet onions, cut into 1-inch chunks
    2 medium-size sweet green peppers, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces

Pour remaining sauce into resealable plastic bag; add chicken, pineapple chunks, onion and green pepper. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once. Meanwhile, prepare barbecue grill with mesquite charcoal, or heat gas grill or broiler. Bring large pot of water (do not salt) and oil to boiling. Add pasta; cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain; transfer to large serving platter toss the pasta with the reserved 1 C. sauce. On metal skewers or presoaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks and vegetables.
