Notes
At-home steps (optional)
Chicken and vegetables can be pre-chopped. The marinade ingredients can be combined in a small, sealable jar. If you will make this on your first evening in camp, the chicken and marinade can be combined for up to 24 hours (longer than that affects the chicken's texture).
Ingredient notes
Fresh pineapple can be used—either from a whole pineapple (prep this at home!), or, if you can find fresh pineapple spears (check the refrigerated section of the produce department), those are super easy. Alternatively, you can use canned pineapple (drain before using).
