The Modern Proper

In a large bowl, combine the sesame oil, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and paprika. Transfer about half of the marinade to a small bowl.

Add the chicken to the marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, add the sweet potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Tightly thread the chicken, boiled sweet potatoes, pineapple, green peppers, and onions onto 8 skewers, dividing evenly. (see note)

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Oil the grates and add the skewers. Cook, turning and brushing with reserved marinade, until sweet potatoes are lightly charred and chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes total. Serve over coconut rice and sprinkle with toasted coconut.

I made these tonight with cilantro lime rice...these are outstanding!!  The sweet potatoes are brilliant!  My husband dislikes them very much, however, he enjoyed these!  I think I would suggest making a little extra marinade to use as a sauce for finishing.  I love your recipes!

Wow, this was an instant favorite!  We've made it several times already. The only time-consuming part is just threading all of the ingredients onto the skewers, but you can enlist help for that.

We've substituted peeled shrimp for the chicken and it turned out amazing. I also like to make a bit of extra marinade so that I can brush it on more generously while the kabobs are cooking. Finally, if you are cooking over charcoal for the flavor (which I would highly recommend), make sure your fire isn't too hot so that the veggies have time to soften and brown on the edges before the protein overcooks.

Fabulous flavours. I followed the recipe exactly and loved the sweet potato and pineapple combo. Really delicious. I’ve already shared with friends!

I made this exactly like the recipe for some friends this past weekend and it was delicious! I marinated a little too much chicken for 4 people, so we stir -fried it the next night with some peppers and served it over leftover coconut rice and it tasted great that way as well!

These kebabs are excellent.  I did not add sweet potato because I was making a salad with potatoes.  My husband and I tested the recipe last night and I will be making it for a big group next weekend.  This is great for company because you can prep so much in advance.

This meal was great! Followed the sauce recipe to the letter but may make 1.5x next time so I have more to baste and drizzle. The store was out of fresh pineapple so I bought a can of the biggest chunks I could find. I read on another blog (I did my research after my shop) that you shouldn't use canned because it's too soft and will fall off the skewer. Sounded likely to happen so I decided to caramelize the pineapple in a skillet with butter and a pinch of salt to serve with the kabobs. Not the same as grilled of course, but got some color and didn't taste like straight out of the can pineapple. Would suggest that approach to anyone in the same pinch (or if the fresh pineapple you bought isn't ripe yet) because pineapple is essential to the deliciousness of this recipe!

Really delicious recipe. I love it yummy!!! It's really awesome. Will surely try this. You can also try this one

These were delicious! Served over white rice and the whole family loved them!
