Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 12 strips bacon (turkey)
- 3 cups fresh pineapple (1-in cubes)
- 1/3 cup hickory-smoked barbecue sauce
- 1/3 cup pineapple preserves
- cooked rice
Directions
-
Soak 8 short bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes (or use four long metal skewers). Place chicken on microwave-safe place and microwave on high for 5 mins, stirring once halfway through cooking time. Cut bacon crosswise into 2-in long pieces. Thread skewers with chicken, folded bacon and pineapple chunks, leaving a 1/4-in space between pieces.
-
Heat gas grill to medium-high or prepare charcoal grill with medium-hot coals. Place skewers on grill and cook for 6 mins; turn and grill for 6 minutes longer.
-
Meanwhile, in small microwave-safe bowl, stir together barbecue sauce and pineapple preserves; microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until warm. Microwave cooked rice following package directions.
-
Remove skewers from grill. Brush with warm barbecue sauce mixture. Serve with hot rice and remaining barbecue sauce mixture on the side.
