McCormick® Grill Mates® Applewood Bacon Chicken Skewers

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes (about 24 pieces)
• 2 tablespoons McCormick® Grill Mates® Applewood Rub
• 12 slices bacon
• 12 (6-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water

DIRECTIONS

• Toss chicken with McCormick® Grill Mates® Applewood Rub in large bowl until evenly coated. Set aside.

• Place 2 layers of paper towels on a microwavable plate. Place 6 slices of bacon in single layer on paper towels. Cover with 1 layer of paper towel. Microwave on HIGH 2 to 3 minutes or until bacon is partially cooked. Repeat with remaining bacon. Let cool slightly. Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise to make 24 pieces.

• Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each piece of chicken. Thread 2 bacon-wrapped chicken pieces onto each skewer.

• Grill skewers over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally.
