Receta Maple Balsamic Chicken and Bacon Skewers
I know I shouldn’t be the one to have an opinion on this, since I don’t do any grilling, but even though grilling seems to be a summer activity, I think it really needs to be more of a spring and fall activity. Who wants to stand over/next to a grill when it’s approximately 1 billion degrees out? Not I. When the weather is nice enough to both cook and eat outside without melting into a puddle, that’s the real “grilling season” in my opinion. (While all of this is true, you’re totally onto me if you’re thinking to yourself, “She’s turning these fall skewers because she didn’t post them in the summer…”) Ahem.
These kabobs combine balsamic and maple syrup (a perfect match, if you ask me), lean chicken, seasonal vegetables and bacon, so it’s pretty hard not to like them. Although you can really use any vegetables you want (or none at all), this combination sure is a pretty one. The bacon adds some smokiness to these kabobs, and it helps to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from drying out, much like these BBQ chicken kabobs.
So, get out there and do some grilling! If you live in a place like I do, you know that Fall is a really small blip on the radar between air conditioning and a blizzard.
