01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 14 oz)
02 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)

# Method:
01 - Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

03 - While chicken marinates, peel, core, and cut fresh pineapple into 1-inch chunks, or drain canned pineapple if using.
04 - Preheat air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes.
05 - Thread one piece of marinated chicken and one pineapple chunk onto each toothpick or mini skewer.
06 - Arrange bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
07 - Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
08 - Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro, green onions, or sesame seeds if desired.
