Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1” pieces
6 thick cut bacon strips cut in 1” pieces, partially cooked
salt and pepper for seasoning
1/2 cup sweet BBQ sauce
1-2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Partially cook the bacon then cut into 1 inch pieces.
Alternate threading the chicken and bacon onto the skewers. Season the skewers with salt and pepper.
Place the BBQ sauce, chipotle peppers, and honey in the blender. Puree until smooth.
Grill the chicken skewers for 4 minutes per side. Baste the skewers with the BBQ chipotle sauce and grill another 3-4 minutes per side, until the edges of the bacon are crisp.
Serve with additional sauce on the side.

Notes

Adding the whole peppers will make it very spicy. If you don’t like it spicy just add the adobo liquid from the can instead of the peppers.
Partially cook the bacon so that you don't end up with rubbery bacon that isn't crispy.
