These Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs add a fun twist on grilling. If you have never grilled bacon before, you need to. I also love the combo of the chicken and bacon grilled together. It creates the most amazing flavor.
Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs Recipe
I usually am not a big fan of bacon, but this was awesome. The chicken and bacon combination was so yummy. We will definitely be making this a couple of times this summer.
They were so quick to throw together, and string onto the kabobs. I fell in love at first bite, and now I am salivating at just the thought of them.
If you need some new bbq or grilling recipe, we highly recommend trying out our Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs. They are so tasty and full of flavor.
Grilled bacon is the new grilled pineapple. Which also sounds delicious, and like my new recipe  I want to try. Give me all the grilling recipes.

What other dishes could I serve as side dishes?

We are all about making dinner easy, and that includes side dishes. Here are a few side dishes, that would pair perfectly with these kabobs:

Would turkey bacon work, instead of pork bacon?

For this recipe, we used pork bacon (from a pig). However, I am a huge fan of Turkey bacon, and I am sure that it would work just as well.

However, turkey bacon is packaged as “pre-cooked”, it really just needs heating up. I am sure it will be a little more dry than the pork bacon, because the pork bacon has a lot more fat, and juices to it.

If you do use turkey bacon instead of pork bacon, we recommend cooking your kabobs, on low, and slow, to keep your turkey bacon from drying out. This will also create more moist chicken.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 2 green onions minced
  • 3 boneless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
  • ½ pound strips of bacon cup in half

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, oil and green onions. Place chicken and veggies into the mixture, stir to coat.
  • Cover and marinate in the fridge at least one hour (the more time, the better the flavor!).
  • Preheat grill on high heat. Wrap the chicken chunks with bacon and thread onto skewers so that the bacon is secured. Skewer the veggies also (I did the meat and veggies separate because they cook at different speeds).
  • Arrange skewers on the grill. Cook 15-20 minutes, brushing occasionally with the remaining soy sauce mixture, until bacon is crisp and juices are clear.

Notes

We put green pepper, pineapple chunks, and onion chunks on skewers and grilled them next to the chicken and bacon kabobs. A great side and they don't cook as long.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago does the bacon-wrapped chicken. Bacon on anything is good, in my opinion...

    Thanks for sharing at Creative Juice Thursday...
