1 large onion, cut into large pieces

1 lb bacon, cut in half

1 ½ cups pineapple juice

Instructions:
Prepare the Kebabs:

Wrap each piece of chicken and pineapple with a piece of bacon.

Thread the bacon-wrapped chicken, pineapple, red bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers.

Make the Sauce:

In a saucepan on the stove, combine the pineapple juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, and soy sauce.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Let the sauce cool.

Preheat the Grill:

Preheat your grill to medium heat.

Grill the Kebabs:

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, basting with the pineapple sauce as you go.

Continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

Serve:

Once the chicken is cooked and the bacon is crispy, remove the skewers from the grill.

Serve the kebabs hot with extra sauce on the side.

Notes:
Saving Energy: These kebabs are grilled, making them an energy-efficient meal if you’re already using the grill. You can also prepare the ingredients ahead of time for quicker grilling.

Health Benefits: These kebabs offer protein from the chicken and healthy fats from the bacon, but they are calorie-dense due to the bacon and sauce. You can lighten them up by using turkey bacon or reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce. Enjoy in moderation!
