Bacon Wrapped Chicken and Pineapple Skewers with Butternut Squash and Rice

I've been trying out a lot of new recipes lately, and here is one that was pretty good, minus the sauce that I used.
what you'll  need to feed 2 people is the following...

2 chicken breast, de-boned, skin removed and cut into chunks
1/2 a pine apple cubed
8 portions of bacon cut in half

Take the bacon and wrap each chunk of chicken with it, and then put them on a skewer-I use metal skewers as they don't make much waste and there is no soaking involved, alternate between bacon wrapped chicken and pineapple.. and viola your skewers are ready, heat BBQ and cook till chicken is cooked through- this varies depending on the head of your BBQ, about 15 mins with turning every few minutes.
I tried out a new sauce that wasn't very tasty, so you can add BBQ sauce or any sauce you like, personally I think just the bacon and pineapple flavor was enough :)

For the Butternut Squash you will need..
1/2 a large butternut squash cut into small chunks
and a 1/4 inch slice of onion
tin foil
and vegetable oil (in a spray bottle if possible)

Take the slice of onion and wrap it in a nice little package of tinfoil and use a fork to poke holes in it, thus allow steam to escape. 
Take another piece of tin foil and lay flat on the counter, place the onion pack in the middle and spray the area with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Take the chunks of butternut squash and place on top of the onion pack and close up the tin foil ensuring all sides are sealed close, cook on the BBQ for 10-15 mins till squash is cooked through :)

Steam your rice according to package directions- I always make my husband make the rice as his is the tastiest :) and fluffy..

Plate and serve :)









Happy Cooking!!!
