Recipe Background

CBR Kabobs really do bring that chicken-bacon-ranch flavor in a big, summer cookout way! The chicken is marinated in zesty ranch seasoning, so no bite of savory poultry is without it, and there is plenty of succulent bacon skewered alongside! There aren't any vegetables to distract from the big satisfaction of CBR Kabobs — just the favorites!

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons ranch seasoning
1 (16-ounce) package bacon

Directions

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-2-inch pieces
In a small bowl, add the olive oil, the black pepper, and the ranch seasoning and whisk to combine.
In a resealable plastic bag, add the chicken pieces and the marinade mixture, then seal the bag.
Turn the bag to coat the chicken pieces.
Transfer the bag to the refrigerator and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 3 hours.
Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F.
On a clean microwave-safe plate covered with a paper towel and working in batches, add the bacon slices, ensuring they do not overlap.
Microwave the bacon until it is warmed but not cooked through, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
Cut the warmed bacon into 2-inch pieces.
Repeat until all of the bacon is warmed and cut.
On a soaked wooden skewer, alternate threading the chicken pieces and the bacon pieces until the skewer is full.
Repeat the skewering process for the remaining skewers until all of the chicken and the bacon are used.
Add the skewers to the grill and cook, flipping them once, until the chicken pieces reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 6-8 minutes per side.
Transfer the skewers to a plate and immediately tent them with foil.
Allow the skewers to rest until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
Serve.
