Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts cut into 12 1-inch cubes
  • 12 strips of bacon
  • 12 basil leaves plus a few more leaves chopped, for garnish
  • 3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 3 Tbsp white wine
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 6- inch bamboo skewers soaked in water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Fit a roasting rack inside the baking sheet.
  • In a medium size bowl, combine chicken breast cubes, teriyaki sauce, white wine, salt and pepper. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Wrap a bacon strip around each chicken breast piece, placing a basil leaf in between. Thread bacon wrapped chicken breast pieces onto the skewers, 2 pieces per skewer. Leave at least half an inch space between the pieces. If using longer skewer, you may have more pieces per skewer.
  • Bake the chicken breasts kebabs for 20-30 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, flipping several times during baking.
  • During the last minutes of baking, switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken breast kebabs 1-2 minutes on each side, to crisp up the bacon.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve immediately. You may serve the dish as is, or with warmed up teriyaki sauce.
