A marinade of soy sauce, ginger, and lime juice with honey and spices tenderizes and flavors these Hawaiian Kabobs made with Chicken, Bacon and Pineapple. The sweet, sticky kabobs will add some tropical flair to your dinner table or backyard party.
These Hawaiian Kabobs are simple to make, full of flavor, and great for a party.
Chicken and Bacon Hawaiian Kabobs
makes 5 skewers
Ingredients:
1 1⁄2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bit sized cubes (about 3-4 breasts)
15 ounce can of pineapple chunks, juice reserved
10 strips of bacon
2 TBS ketchup
2 TBS soy sauce
1 inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1⁄4 tsp black pepper
1 TBS lime juice
1 TBS honey
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1⁄2 cup reserved pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, black pepper, lime juice, and honey until completely mixed. Add chicken cubes; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat your grill over medium heat, with the lid closed.
Note: The natural sugar released from the pineapple can cause a sticky situation. Either oil the grill in advance, or grill over foil.
3. To assemble your skewers: spear one end of bacon through the skewer, then add 1 cube chicken, 2 pineapple cubes, and then spear the bacon again (kind of wrapping the bacon around), add another cube of chicken, 2 pineapples, and then secure the end of the bacon slice on the skewer. Add another slice of bacon and repeat steps. Each skewer should have 2 pieces of bacon and about 4-5 pieces of chicken. Repeat for all skewers.
4. Brush grill with oil or spray with non stick spray. Add skewers to grill, close and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, turn to the other side, brush with marinade, and cook another 4-5 minutes. Remove from grill.
5. Let skewers rest for 5 minutes and then serve immediately. Discard any remaining marinade.

You had me at chicken and then again at bacon. But the pineapple really did it for me. These look so yummy!
Chicken and pineapple is my favorite, especially on pizza, these kabobs look awesome. I love just grilling pineapple all by itself on the grill too. So yummy! Awesome recipe here!

All my favotites in this dish! It looks just delicious! It’s always wonderful to re-discover how much of a “Kick” pineapple brings to everything it touches~ and the marinade sounds great. Pinned & planned for Tuesday! : )
Yum! That looks delicious. We love grilled pineapple! And you can’t go wrong with bacon!
These look so good and are exactly what my family loves. I’d be interested in making these for dinner.

These do look good and like the comments above salty (bacon) with Sweet (pineapple) and meat chunks works as a love BBQ treat and I love the idea of the sauce as you made it up from store cupboard items and not a packet!
