Bacon, Pineapple, Chicken Kabobs
INGREDIENTS
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1 large pineapple, cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
2 large red bell peppers, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
12 strips of thick cut bacon
FOR THE HAWAIIAN SAUCE:
1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 long skewers
DIRECTIONS
To make the Hawaiian sauce: Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes. Set-aside until ready to use.
Thread the skewers. Weave the bacon around each piece of chicken and pineapple, stick the bell pepper and onion together and weave the bacon around both of those. You’ll need two strips of bacon per skewer if using 4 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces each of pineapple, bell pepper and onion. Brush some olive or vegetable oil evenly over each kabob.
Preheat the grill to medium high. Grill the kabobs for 10-15, turning a couple of times, until done.
Slather with hot Hawaiian sauce and serve immediately.
