Chicken Bacon Kabobs

Chicken Bacon Kabobs is from a card from my grocery store. These are really good.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, scallions and canola oil. Take 1/4 cup of marinade (to be used for basting) and set aside.
  2. 2
    Place chicken into the marinade and stir to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. Wrap the chicken chunks with bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the bacon is secured. Alternate chicken with mushrooms, peppers and pineapple chunks.
  3. 3
    Lightly oil the grill grate. Arrange skewers on the heated grill. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, brushing occasionally with remaining soy sauce mixture, until bacon is crisp and chicken juices run clear.

Delicious! I used only a pinch of ginger (personal taste preference) and omitted the pineapple (I know it's very popular but we've just never been keen on it in savoury dishes) but otherwise made these exactly to the recipe. The blend of flavours and the vegetables and the bacon-wrapped chicken were all just SO yummy! I marinated the chicken for several hours and then panfried the kabobs in a non-stick pan. Alas, no BBQ, but I'm sure they would taste even better BBQd. We loved these. I nearly scaled the recipe back for two, then decided that I could freeze what we weren't going to be eating on the night, so we have several more serves to be enjoyed on other nights! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. Thank you so much for sharing yet another super recipe, Jess!

    This is a wonderful recipe!! I loved the flavour from the marinade, I marinated mine in the morning and cooked that night. The chicken was lovely and tender and the bacon wrapped around each piece was a nice touch. I served mine over a mixed salad and it made for a delicious meal. I will look forward to trying this one again in summer when I can cook the skewers on the BBQ. A great post Jess.

    The flavour of the marinade is interesting and better than I thought it would be. I didn't have enough bacon to wrap all the chicken pieces (but that was o'kay as the DM didn't want bacon on hers) - I got 11 skewers - 6 with bacon and 5 without and only used the mushrooms and a green pepper. The DH cooked under the griller/broiler (about 18 to 20 minutes) and the chicken was tasty and moist. Thank you Jess4Freedom, made for Every Day is a Holiday.

    Excellent. I made this as directed and it was wonderful. Loved the marinade and the fresh pineapple. I'll probably microwave the bacon a little next time because it didn't get as done as I would have liked, but didn't take away from the flavor it added to the chicken. I did add some red onion to the mixture because I love grilled onion. Thanks so much for sharing this keeper.
