My friend and I are dieting together and made these kabobs together a while back. We tweaked the recipe a bit to lighten it up, for example substituting turkey bacon for regular and using cooking spray instead of so much oil. I’ve since remade the recipe using peppers and onions in addition to the ingredients below. Both times they have turned out great! These can also be made in the oven using the broiler.
TIP: Soak your wooden skewers in water at least 20 minutes so they don’t burn.
Chicken Bacon Kabobs (from AllRecipes.com)
Serves 6
Total time (prep & cook): about 1:45
Ingredients
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
10 large mushrooms, cut in half
2 green onions, minced
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into chunks
1/2 pound sliced thick cut bacon, cut in half
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
skewers
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, canola oil, and green onions. Place the mushrooms and chicken into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
Preheat grill for high heat.
Remove the mushrooms and chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
Wrap the chicken chunks with bacon, and thread onto skewers so that the bacon is secured. Alternate with mushroom halves and pineapple chunks.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Arrange skewers on the prepared grill. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, brushing occasionally with remaining soy sauce mixture, until bacon is crisp and chicken juices run clear.
