Bacon Pineapple Chicken Kabobs Recipe 445

Steps:

• ~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.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a small bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce and reserved juice. Cut each piece of chicken into four strips. Pour 1 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting. , In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; cut in half widthwise. Cut each onion into 16 wedges; cut each pepper into eight pieces. Drain and discard marinade. Wrap a piece of bacon around each chicken strip., On 16 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread the bacon-wrapped chicken, vegetables and pineapple. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Steps:

• 1. Soak the skewers for about 30 minutes in the apple juice. (This helps the skewers not to burn and infuses the apple flavor into the chicken kabobs.)
• 2. Take the skinless chicken breast and cut the long way into 1 1/2 inch thick strips until you have 8 chicken strips. (You can also purchase them already cut.) Cut away any remaining fat or skin. Clean the chicken thoroughly.
• 3. Soak the chicken in cranberry juice for 30 minutes.
• 4. While the skewers and chicken are soaking, cut the fresh pineapple and green bell pepper into 8 bite-size chunks. (You can use canned pineapple chunks.)
• 5. Mix all the seasonings together in a small bowl.
• 6. Season the chicken liberally on all sides.
• 7. Once everything has been soaking/seasoned and cut into bite-size chunks, you're ready to begin assembling the kabobs. Pierce one end of a chicken strip with a skewer. Then pierce one end of a bacon strip and lay over the chicken. Allow both chicken and bacon strip to lay to one side of the skewer. Add a chunk of pineapple and a chunk of green bell pepper to the skewer. Snake the chicken and bacon strips over the chunks, then repeat adding the chunks until all the chicken and bacon strip is assembled on the skewer.
• 8. Repeat for the remaining skewers.
• 9. Now that all the skewers have been assembled, place the chicken bacon kabobs on the grill, preheated medium to low. Grill 15-20 minutes turning halfway through the cooking process.
• 10. While kabobs are on the grill, prepare the glaze. Reduce apricot jam on low heat, stirring often.
• 11. Once the kabobs are done grilling, brush the jam over the kabobs. Turn them and brush the other side allowing the kabobs to cook with the glaze for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and enjoy! :)
