- Olive oil
- Minced green onions
- Boneless chicken breast
- Bacon
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Our Chicken Bacon Shish Kabobs
- Start by getting out a large mixing bowl and pour in the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and minced green onion and mix it all together.
- Then, place the chopped up bite-sized chicken pieces, and any veggies you might want to grill too!
- Turn the chicken in the marinade to make sure it is completely coated.
- Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for at least an hour but could be overnight too! PRO TIP: The longer it marinates, the more flavor the chicken will have.
- Turn on the grill and preheat it to high heat.
- While the grill is heating up, wrap the pieces of chicken with bacon and thread the skewer through the chicken until it is full.
- Make sure to get the bacon skewered as well so it does not fall off.
- Then, using another skewer for the veggiesm since they will take less time to cook.
- Place the skewers on the grill and allow the chicken and bacon to cook for 15-20 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, occasionally brush the remaining marinade on the kabobs until the bacon is crispy and the juices from the chicken run clear.
Recipe Notes
Not everyone likes to use soy sauce, or even the taste of it. There are a few other options you can choose from to replace it with. However, there will be a little bit of change to the flavor of the chicken. But, if you would like to switch out the soy sauce Pure Wow has a great list of the best substitutes for soy sauce. Pick your favorite and enjoy a great marinade.

Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs Recipe
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 2 green onions, minced
- 3 boneless, skinless 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.
