Best Ever Skirt Steak and Bacon Wrapped Chicken Kabobs

This was inspired by my 10 year old son who wanted bacon wrapped chicken, but it was my husband that I caught "licking the plate" at the end of the night....ENJOY... This is simple enough for family, but good enough for a BBQ with company....

ingredients
- 1 large skirt steak
- 4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets
- 1 1⁄2 cups teriyaki sauce (I recommend SoyVay with sesame seeds)
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds (if needed)
- 1 cup white vermouth (sherry may work too)
- 5 tablespoons garlic, chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 8 slices bacon (or whatever you need to wrap chicken)
- lemon juice
directions
- Trim all excess fat from skirt steak and slice into kabob sized slices. (I made mine about 1 inch thick so they would come out medium-well when done) Cut chicken into pieces that corresponds to the cooking time of the steak. (Again, mine were about 1 1/2 inch cubes).
- Combine teriyaki sauce, vermouth, garlic and onion in a large bowl. Add meats and marinate 4-6 hours, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water until ready to make kabobs.
- When ready, wrap 1/2 slice bacon around each piece of chicken. Make kabobs by alternating steak and chicken on skewers, making sure to stab through the bacon to keep it wrapped around the chicken.
- Cook over med-high heat on BBQ, turning once, cooking about 15 minutes total. Baste with leftover marinade, and squirt with lemon juice during cooking.
- If you cant find teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds, add lots of sesame seeds to the marinade -- I dont know if it makes a difference, but why take the chance for such a small thing. I found Soy Vay to be the absolute best brand of teriyaki sauce.
- Time does not include marinating time, but the prep is so quick that I did all of it while getting my kids out the door for school in the morning. Then, after setting up the kabobs I refrigerated them until ready to cook that evening.

OMGosh! This Was Sooooooooo Delish! Both daughters were having their boyfriends over on saturday and I was looking for something yummy to grill. It was a huge Hit! I used sirloin steak instead of the skirt steak because they were over $5 a lb and so thin so I bought some very lean thick sirloin and marinated both meats two days. I didn't have any vermouth and I had to add the sesame seeds in. I also added chunks of green and red bell peppers when I skewered the meat. I used cheap thin bacon and it worked very well. DH brushed the kabobs as directed while cooking. The flavor was amazing and the meat so tender. I served it with yellow rice and buttered grilled corn. I can not wait to make this again. Next time I will add some pineapple to the kabobs along with the peppers. Thank you so much for posting such a yummy easy recipe! Definitely make this for company, they will be impressed!
