Directions
1.
Sprinkle chicken with about half of the jerk seasoning; toss gently to coat. Cut any large pea pods in half crosswise.
2.
Alternately thread chicken, sugar snap peas, pineapple, and sweet pepper onto 4 long (12") or 8 shorter metal skewers*, leaving about 1/4 inch between pieces.
3.
For sauce: In a small saucepan, combine remaining jerk seasoning and the spreadable fruit. Cook and stir just until spreadable fruit is melted; set aside.
4.
Place kabobs on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning once and brushing occasionally with sauce during the last 3 minutes of grilling. Makes 4 (1-skewer) servings.

*Test Kitchen Tip
If using wooden skewers, soak in enough water to cover for at least 1 hour before using.
