Ingredients:
- 8 pargiot dark meat boneless skinless chicken
- 1/2 pineapple peeled and sliced
- 1/2 purple onion peeled
- 1 red chili pepper seeds removed for less heat
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled
- 2 cloves fresh garlic peeled
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro optional
- 1/8 cup fresh mint
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 2 limes juiced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 11/2 teaspoons salt pink Himalayan
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least ten minutes.
- Cut the chicken into 2 inch cubes and place on a soaked wooden skewer.
- Place on parchment paper and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well so each skewer is evenly spiced.
- In a food processor add the rest of the ingredients, including the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper. Pulse five times and make sure it stays chunky and not mushy.
- Prepare a grill pan on high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 5 minutes per side.
- Remove and place salsa on top and serve.
