RECIPE OF THE MONTH Skewed Teriyaki-Pineapple Chicken This is a simple dish you can prepare the night before and throw on the grill for a quick and delicious dinner. It is also a great way to have the whole family sneak in a serving of fruit at dinnertime. Shrimp or beef can be substituted for the chicken. Serves 5.

Cut uncooked breasts into pieces (large bite-sized) and place in zip-lock bag or storage container. Add teriyaki sauce and marinate at least 1 hour (preferably in the refrigerator overnight). Remove chicken from marinade and set aside for basting while grilling. Skewer approximately two pieces of chicken for every one chunk of pineapple. If using wooden skewers, make sure to moisten them before skewering to minimize burning while grilling. Grill, rotating every few minutes, for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through; do not overcook. This dish is excellent served with brown rice and freshly grilled green veggies such as snow peas or broccoli.
