Bacon wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs

This is a recipe that I found on Mels Kitchen Cafe and it was so simple!  She had a recipe for your own teriyaki sauce but I took the shortcut route and just bought some Kikoman brand from the store.  There is a marinade and a baste.  I bought both.  I marinated the chicken in the marinade for a couple hours and then I brushed the baste on half way through the cooking time.  It turned out really good!

1 bag of frozen chicken breast strips thawed (or you can use fresh and cut your own) cut into bite size pieces
Teriyaki marinade and baste
2 cans pineapple chunks
1 pkg bacon - (not thick sliced) - cut bacon slices in half

*Marinade the chicken for a couple hours and soak your shish kabob sticks in water for an hour or so too.  Wrap one piece of chicken in the bacon and stick it on your stick.  Put a piece of pineapple on and repeat the process.  Grill on medium heat for about 6 minutes a side.  Half way through the grilling, baste the chicken with the teriyaki baste.  I served mine with lime cilantro rice.  I pulled the chicken off and put it in the rice and it is just like a teriyaki bowl.


Cilantro Lime Rice
15 ounce can of chicken broth
2 tbsp lime juice
2 - 3 minced garlic cloves
1 cup long grain white rice

*Bring all together to a boil in a sauce pot.  Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes until all juice in absorbed.  Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.  Just before serving, squeeze the juice from 1 or 2 limes, depending on how limey you like and add some fresh chopped cilantro.
