Ingredients
- 8-10 skewer sticks
- 2 ½ pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes
- ½ cup green bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
- ½ cup red bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
- ½ cup yellow bell pepper cut into 1 inch pieces
- ½ cup Spanish onion cut into 1 inch pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Guava BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup guava paste
- 1 1/2 cup original BBQ sauce
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Heat outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers. Season chicken and vegetable skewers with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place chicken skewers on the grill to cook turning occasionally until charred, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan combine guava paste, barbecue sauce, garlic, lime juice, and vinegar. Bring to a slow simmer and stir until the guava paste has melted and the sauce is smooth, set aside.
- When skewers are almost done, brush with guava barbecue sauce and grill until done.
Notes
- If you can’t find guava paste at the store, you can use guava preserves.
- You can use metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about an hour before grilling to keep them from burning in the grill.
- Be sure to cook the chicken all the way through. The outside should be slightly charred and have a uniformed white color inside. If you have an instant-read thermometer they should register at 165F.
