Chicken and Bacon Kabobs

Chicken and Bacon Kabobs are marinated and then grilled. With mushrroms and pineapple, the kabobs have so much smoky flavor.

Cooking on the grill is one of the things I most love about the summer months and these Chicken and Bacon Kabobs are one of my favorite things to make.

This recipe is really hard to mess up. Even if you start to enjoy a glass of wine a little too much and forget there is food on the grill. Hey, it happens.

The bacon, which is wrapped around the chicken helps keep the chicken from drying out and also wonderfully seasons the chicken with its juices.

How To Serve

These Chicken Bacon Kabobs also have mushrooms and pineapple so if you serve them over rice you have a whole meal. That’s what I love about kabobs. They go great with some corn on the cob or Summer Squash and Onions.

Flavorful Marinade

The chicken and mushrooms are marinated in soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. It’s best to marinate them from 2 to 8 hours.

The flavors of the marinade combined with the smokiness of the bacon creates one delicious kabob. You have saltiness from the bacon and marinade and a little sweetness from the pineapple and honey.

You really can’t go wrong with Chicken and Bacon Kabobs!

Recipe Tip

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 1 hour before using.

Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 green onions, minced
10 large mushrooms, cut in half
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
1/2 pound bacon, cut in half
1 small can pineapple chunks, drained
skewers (if using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least 1 hour)

Instructions

Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add mushrooms and chicken and stir to coat.
Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high heat.
Wrap chicken chunks with bacon and thread onto skewers alternating with pineapple chunks and mushroom halves. You can either cut the bacon into smaller pieces and wrap each piece of chicken individually or leave the bacon whole and snake it back and forth so that it forms an “S” shape. For example, it would go on the left side of a piece of chicken and then on the right side of the next piece and repeat this pattern.
Arrange skewers on grill and cook about 15 minutes, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning to brown all sides.
