For the bbq sauce

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a small bowl or jar, mix together the bbq sauce ingredients until well combined.
    1 cup ketchup - I used unsweetened, 4 tablespoon mustard, 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ chipotle powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Add the chicken breast cubes to a large bowl or container. Pour half of the bbq sauce over the chicken and toss well to coat. (If preparing ahead of time, cover and marinate for up to 24 hours).
    2 lbs chicken breast
  • When ready to cook the chicken, spray some olive oil on the grill and preheat to 350 F (medium high heat). Meanwhile, assemble the kabobs by threading 4 - 5 pieces onto each skewer, leaving a little bit of room between each one.
    5 - 6 wooden skewers
  • Once the grill is hot, place each kabob on the grill, close the lid, and allow them to cook for 5 - 7 minutes. Flip the kabobs over and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes until the chicken is white all the way through.
  • Transfer the kabobs to a plate. Brush the extra bbq sauce over the kabobs while still warm, serve, and enjoy!
