Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 200 grams Smoked bacon
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 Red onion
- 150 grams Button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic cloves to create the marinade.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Clean the button mushrooms and leave them whole if they are small, or cut them in half if they are larger.
Pre-cook the smoked bacon by frying it lightly in a pan for 2–3 minutes until it is partially cooked but still pliable. Let it cool slightly.
Once the chicken has marinated, assemble the kebabs. Alternate pieces of chicken, bacon (folded into smaller pieces), bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion on the skewers.
Brush the assembled kebabs with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are charred and tender.
Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with additional maple syrup if desired, and enjoy!
