How to Make Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken

  1. In a large resealable bag, combine 1 cup teriyaki marinade, 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch thick pieces), and 12 slices bacon.
  2. Ensure the chicken and bacon are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Preheat grill to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Remove chicken and bacon from the marinade, letting excess drip off.
  6. Season chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Wrap each chicken breast with 1-2 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  8. Place bacon-wrapped chicken on the preheated grill.
  9. Grill for 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), turning occasionally and keeping the lid mostly closed to maintain heat.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with grilled pineapple slices for a perfect complement.
