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.
