Sweet BBQ Chicken Kabobs
This is a great recipe for a family BBQ. The sweet and tangy flavours paired with the chicken make for a unique combination. These are perfect if you are looking for a change from hamburgers or grilled steak. You can get creative and add peppers, onions, portabella mushrooms, or other veggies you enjoy!

| Boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1½ inch pieces) |
1lb | 450g |

| Yellow pepper, cut into chunks | 1 each | 1 each |
| BBQ sauce | ½ cup | 125 mL |

Directions:

- Mix remaining ingredients. Set aside half the sauce; brush remaining sauce onto kabobs.
- Grill for 8-10 minutes until chicken is done, brushing occasionally with reserved sauce.
Note: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using. Wrap ends with foil before grilling to prevent burning.
