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.

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!
