In our family, summertime (or really any time for that matter!) is grilling time. The other night, we made these awesome chicken bacon skewers and they are UNBELIEVABLY good for being such a simple recipe.

Ingredients
- 3lb Boneless, skinless chicken tenders (or chicken breast cut into chicken-tenders type strips)
- 1lb Bacon
- 1/2 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup Asian-style vinaigrette (I use Bolthouse Farms)
- 1 tablespoon Garlic (crushed)
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
| In a large bowl whisk together barbecue sauce, vinaigrette, garlic, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Set aside. | |
| Thread chicken tenders onto skewers. Wrap bacon around chicken and secure ends. | |
| Place skewers in pan and cover with marinade. Allow the bacon-wrapped chicken to marinate for about 4-6 hours. | |
| Grill the skewers on low heat for about 20 minutes. Then move to high heat and finish grilling to crisp the bacon, about 5 minutes. | |
Note
We like to serve these with grilled veggies (sweet potatoes, baked potatoes, and zucchini). Such a simple and delicious meal!
