Chicken Pineapple Kebabs with Agave Pineapple Marinade

My mom and I have been trying to make different and healthier recipes, and I have been really sticking to it.  I love grilled chicken and have been looking for recipes for grilled chicken.  I was not sure how I felt about mixing fruit with meat, but this mixture is DELICIOUS.  We served the kebabs over brown rice.  These were really filling, and super easy to make.
