Turn four everyday ingredients into an extraordinary appetizer!


15 bamboo skewers (6 inch)

3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb/500 g)

4 large green onions

1 package (2.1 oz) fully cooked bacon (14 pieces)

½ cup (125 mL) barbecue sauce


  • Soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Meanwhile, cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise to make 10 (about 1-inch) pieces. Cut onions into 2-inch pieces (30 pieces total). Cut bacon slices in half crosswise.

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Push 1 skewer through end of 1 bacon piece, then through middle of 1 chicken piece and back through other end of bacon piece; add 2 onion pieces, then repeat with another bacon piece and chicken piece. Place on large plate or tray. Repeat to make remaining kabobs.

  • Place kabobs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 5 minutes. Turn kabobs; brush with half of the barbecue sauce. Cover; cook 5 minutes. Turn kabobs; brush with remaining sauce. Cover; cook about 1 minute longer or until chicken is no longer pink in centre. If desired, serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.

  • To Bake: Heat oven to 4000 F. Line large baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Make kabobs as directed; place on cookie sheet. Drizzle or brush barbecue sauce over all sides of kabobs. Bake 10 minutes. Turn kabobs. Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in centre.

Tip

Keep pieces of kabob at the tip of the skewer while threading to keep bacon tight.
