Ingredients

2-3 large Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless, cut into 1" pieces
½ teaspoon Salt
⅛ teaspoon Pepper
8 slices Bacon cut into 1" pieces
1 small Pineapple cut into 1" pieces
1 medium Red Bell Pepper cut into 1" pieces
1 small Red Onion cut into 1" pieces
½ cup Barbecue Sauce
Wooden Skewers soaked for at least 1 hour

Instructions

Preheat grill to about 335 degrees F.
Place the wooden skewers in a shallow baking dish and cover with water. Soak for at least 1 hour so the sticks don't burn while the chicken cooks.
Meanwhile, cut the chicken breasts into 1" chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cut the bacon, red pepper, onion, and pineapple into 1" chunks.
Thread the chicken chunks, bacon, red pepper, onion, and pineapple onto the soaked skewers, being careful to evenly space the chicken so that it cooks evenly.
Place the kabobs onto the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown. Turn the chicken over, brush with BBQ sauce, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest on a platter for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
