Maple Glazed Chicken Kabobs with Sweet Jalapeno Salsa

The Bush’s Grillin’ Beans/Pioneer Woman Recipe Contest is nearly closed. I’m getting tremendously excited for the big cookout next month, when the recipe contest winners (and their guests) will travel to the ranch, cook their winning dishes on camera (I’ll share the videos here), and enjoy a cookout on the ranch—Oklahoma style. The recipes submitted so far are ridiculously scrumptious-sounding. If I’m even remotely hungry while I’m reading them…well, it gets a little dicey around here.

You have until May 4th (two more days) to enter your own recipe! Here are the details in case you missed them:

DETAILS

Submit your very best recipe for grilled chicken, steak, chops, shrimp… you name it! Recipes need to be relatively easy to prepare, use accessible, widely-available ingredients, served with one of the seven flavors of Bush’s Grillin’ Beans, and— most of all—taste delicious. Four winners will be chosen to travel to the ranch in June with a guest of their choice, prepare their recipes on camera and enjoy a country cookout. And remember: I’ll do the dishes!

To submit, enter your grilling recipe served with your favorite flavor of Bush’s Grillin’ Beans in the Comments section of this post.

Here’s my third grilling recipe!

 

Maple Glazed Chicken Kabobs with Sweet Jalapeno Salsa

 

This dish will be served with Bush’s Bourbon and Brown Sugar Grillin’ Beans. I love this flavor!

If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak the skewers in water for several hours first.

If you’re using metal skewers, you can soak them, too. But it won’t do anything.

Ha. I crack myself up. But only 1/10th of the time.

 

 

 

Slice the chicken breasts into small pieces, then thread each piece onto a separate skewer.

 

 

 

Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and pineapple juice in a small saucepan. I spy pulp!

 

 

 

Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat. Let it bubble up and reduce it by about one-fourth, then set aside to cool.

 

 

 

Chop up some fresh pineapple, jalapeno, and red onion really finely.

 

 

 

Throw it into a small bowl and add some rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Set this aside, and try not to eat it all with a bag of blue corn chips!

I speak from experience here.

 

 

 

Grill the chicken kabobs until they’re done…

 

 

 

Then baste the maple sauce over the kabobs toward the end of the grilling time. Remove them from heat and place them on a platter.

 

 

 

To serve, top the kabobs with the jalapeno salsa. Gorgeousness!

If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak the skewers in water for several hours first.

Slice the chicken breasts into six even pieces, then thread each piece onto a separate skewer.

Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and pineapple juice in a small saucepan.

Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and let it bubble up and reduce by about one-fourth. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, combine chopped pineapple, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Set this aside, and try not to eat it all with a bag of blue corn chips! I speak from experience here.

Grill the chicken kabobs until they're done, then baste the maple reduction over the kabobs toward the end of the grilling time. Remove them from heat and place them on a platter.

To serve, top the kabobs with the jalapeno salsa. They look gorgeous on a serving platter!
