BBQ Chicken Kabobs with Bacon and Pineapple

These are the ultimate BBQ chicken kebabs and are perfect for your next cookout! Thank you Butter with a Side of Bread



2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2″ – 2″ chunks, salted lightly
1 1/2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce
1 lb bacon, cut into 1″- 1 1/2″ segments
fresh pineapple cut into 2″ chunks

  • Combine chicken pieces with 1 cup of the BBQ sauce 
  • Marinate for 2-3 hours. (This step can be omitted if you’re pressed for time!)
  • Microwave bacon for 2-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it. 
  • Let bacon cool slightly.
  • Using kebab skewers, thread chicken, bacon pieces and pineapple in a pattern. 
  • The larger pieces of pineapple are easier to skewer. 
  • Fold thin bacon pieces over in half and arrange next to the chicken, 
  • Be careful to not put the bacon pieces too close to anything else, so that they have space to heat up properly to cook.
  • Grill kebabs until chicken reaches 155-160 degrees F. 
  • Slather remaining 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce on kebabs when they’re nearly cooked. 
  • Cover loosely with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
