Summer is almost here and I love cooking out on the grill; these Coconut Pineapple Skewers are perfect for any sunny day! I love that you can prep everything ahead of time, let the chicken marinate, and then when you’re ready to eat all you have to do is toss it on the grill and you’re good to go. The combination of pineapple and coconut go so well with the chicken. It’s tender, juicy and delicious!
