Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers
If you’re looking for a recipe that’s both simple and full of flavor, these Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers are the perfect choice.

They make a fantastic appetizer for parties, a family-friendly dinner, or even a quick weekend treat.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut into strips
- 10 –12 slices bacon thin-cut works best for crispiness
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp paprika smoked or sweet
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- ½ tsp salt adjust, as bacon is already salty
- Optional garnish: fresh dill and thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cut chicken breasts into even strips.
- Marinate: Place chicken in a bowl and add soy sauce, ketchup, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Wrap with bacon: Take one chicken strip and wrap it tightly with a slice of bacon. Thread onto a wooden skewer. Repeat with the rest.
- Cook: Place the skewers on a preheated grill pan or outdoor grill. Cook for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve: Remove from heat, let rest briefly, and garnish with fresh dill and sliced red onion before serving.
