A new, unusual variation of shashlik preserves the original taste of the dish, adding exotic notes to it. Tender chicken breast, soaked in a fragrant marinade, goes well with the tender and crispy texture of pineapples. It is best to use the breast for making shashlik, as this part of the chicken is the juiciest. Shashlik with chicken and pineapple will decorate even the richest holiday table, and a glass of tart red wine will be the perfect complement to it!
