Recipe Box, Dinner on the Grill
.
This dinner is brought to you by HHjr
He is constantly creative with our dinners and the grill is usually involved
.
.
When he came home with chicken and pineapple
and mentioned kebabs,
I assumed he was going to cut the pineapple into chunks
and skewer it along with the chicken…
.
.
Silly me!
.
.
He cut the skin off and rolled the pineapple in brown sugar and drizzled it with honey
.
.
Instead of putting a variety of all the ingredients on each skewer, he skewered the vegetables and chicken separately
It’s easier to make sure each component is cooked properly this way
He threaded sweet yellow pepper, mushrooms, and onion pieces onto skewers, then made skewers of squash
He cut a large baking potato in half, then sliced it horizontally into planks
.
.
Everything was brushed with olive oil and seasoned with salt & pepper
.
.
The chicken was marinated in a bottled teriyaki sauce for several hours then placed onto more skewers
.
On to the grill!
He put the pineapple on first on medium high heat setting on the left,
After 20-30 minutes added the chicken and vegetables
and adjusted the right side of the grill to medium heat
.
.
Initially he kept the potato slices together
and placed the halves cut side down on the grill
.
.
Later when he turned them they were separated into planks until cooked through
.
.
When everything was done he sliced the pineapple for serving
.
.
A complete meal straight from the grill!
No heat or mess in the kitchen!
.
.
The grilled fries were very tasty!

note: grilling times will vary, see note in recipe

Dinner on the Grill
Equipment
- grill
Ingredients
- 6-8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups teriyaki marinade {bottled or make your own}
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 1 sweet yellow pepper {or red or green} cut into 1″ pieces
- 1/2 large sweet onion cut into pieces
- large white or Baby Bella mushrooms cleaned and thickly sliced
- 1 large yellow squash cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 large zucchini cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 large baking potato
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- brown sugar
- cinnamon
- honey
Instructions
- Skewer squash pieces, alternating yellow and zucchini pieces.
- Skewer mushrooms with onion and yellow peppers.
- Place each chicken breast on a smaller wooden skewer.
- Cut potato in half horizontally. Place halves cut side down on cutting board and slice vertically into thick planks. Keeping halves in tack, hold potato halves together and put them on a pan with the other skewers.
- Brush potatoes and vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove skin from pineapple, leaving top on, Rub pineapple all over with brown sugar. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Put pineapple on the grill first, off to one side and cook for 15-20 minutes on medium high, turning occasionally.
- Turn heat to medium. Place everything on the grill, with the potato halves together, cut side down. Half way through grilling, turn potatoes and separate planks, putting them individually on grill grate. Grilling time will depend on type of grill, grill heat, and thickness of foods, so adjust accordingly, checking for doneness with a thermometer or probe.
- Turn pineapple occasionally using the top as a “handle.”
- Cut pineapple into slices to serve

I loved grilled food, and every bit of that looks delish! You’re lucky to have HHJr do that cooking (but I know you already know that!).
Yes, just call me spoiled 🙂
HHJr is quite an amazing and creative chef. This looks delicious and all you had to do was enjoy. Wishing you a blessed Sunday, Jenna!
Thank you Pam, never a dull moment around here!
The entire meal was cooked on the grill! 🧡 That’s awesome and it looks so delicious. Love your pineapple painting too!
It really was awesome and quite delicious! Thanks Patty Anne!
This looks so delicious and healthy too!
Thanks Leslie Anne, try the potatoes this way some time, they were amazing!
That’s SUCH a good idea about cooking the veggies on individual skewers so they are timed right instead of with the meat and all. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that!
Yes, it’s really a great way to make sure everything gets cooked properly, thanks Jeanie!
My kind of dinner! This sounds amazing, we finally have slightly cooler temps, but it’s raining today. Hopefully I’ll be grilling soon-enjoy:@)
Thanks Lynn, it really was amazing, sorry you’re having a rainy Sunday…
Lovely! Grilled pineapple is so magical!
thanks Dorothy, yes it is!
My mouth is watering. Must try to see if hubby is ready to tackle this
Thank you Sandy, you can always slice the pineapple and then toss it on the grill, probably for about 10 minutes, flipping once 🍍
How creative and how scrumptious! That grilled pineapple is a keeper! Tell him I said Bravo!
Thanks Nancy, grilled pineapple is such a treat!
A visual treat–just gorgeous!
Thank you Linda, it was a feast for sure!
Delish Jenna! What a great meal from the grill and your son the chef! I love your new printable recipe format too. Can you share with me what you’re using that’s compatible with WP?
Thanks Mary, I’ll email you the details
Wow….wish he was a neighbor of mine!! This meal looks delish and i would devour it!
Thank you, it really was incredible!
How nice your son can spoil you! Now that looks delish!
No kidding, I have to fight him over who’s cooking dinner these days, but that is FINE with me 😊
HHjr is a great cook! What a great meal and absolutely no heating and mess in the kitchen. We use the grill a lot too. I love the pineapple recipe and I will have to try that. Have a wonderful week.
Thanks Emily, you can slice it of course and grill it that way, and you will only have to cook it 5-10 minutes on each side, it’s so good with grilled meats!
I love how your son thinks, Jenna! I would be so happy with that meal. Somehow food always tastes better when someone else is doing the cooking.
ha ha, isn’t that the truth!! Thanks Kitty!
