BBQ Chicken Skewers Recipe
I was telling my mom about this Weight Watchers recipe because of how low in points it was per skewer — and she said, “Ewww!”
I was like, “Huh? Chicken, pineapple, onions and barbecue sauce don’t sound like a winning combination? “ They sure did to me.

Chicken Skewers RecipeFor the record, anytime I see cilantro in the ingredient list I get super excited. Cilantro adds an amazing burst of flavor to just about any dish!
Anywho, despite my moms reservations, I’ve since made this recipe two different times and devoured my serving of three or four skewers. Add a side of white or brown rice and dinner is served!
I love the sweet juiciness the pineapple brings to these BBQ Chicken Skewers too. So crank up the grill and enjoy enjoy this Weight Watchers friendly recipe — it’s low in points, but HIGH in flavor (see what I did there?). Wink-wink! Enjoy.
