Save RecipeIngredients
- Hunt's Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
- Hunt's Mesquite Molasses BBQ Sauce
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1/2 purple onion, sliced
- 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
- A large handful of brussels sprouts
- 1 package whole button mushrooms, sliced in half
- Wooden skewers (about 15)
Instructions
- Soak your skewers in water for at least an hour (if using wooden skewers) to help prevent burning. First slice all your veggies (mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, bell peppers, and brussels sprouts) and cut chicken into chunks. Skewer everything and pour a generous amount of Hunt's Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce and Hunt's Mesquite Molasses BBQ Sauce over, then brush to coat.
- Grill on high heat for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once. Insert a temperature gauge into the chicken chunks to ensure they're done (it should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit). Drizzle or brush with additional Hunt's BBQ sauce before serving.
Any BBQ wouldn’t be complete without a classic green salad, am I right?! It’s the perfect way to bring color to the plate! Wishbone Italian Dressing is like the cherry on top!
Have you used Walmart’s Online Grocery Service? I use it weekly and am amazed at how much easier it has made my life! Talk about a time and sanity saver! It’s a total dream to be able to just pull up, have your groceries loaded into your car and drive off! Be sure to see if it’s available in your area!
Vlasic pickles are the perfect way to greet guests as they arrive! They’re fun to munch on while everyone waits for the festivities to begin.
I think you all know that the part I always most look forward to about dinner is the dessert! 🙂 These thick Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies could not be easier to make and are absolutely phenomenal! The guests will be raving about them for a long while! They’re even more decadent topped with some Reddi-wip Original!
Here’s how to make them:
Make two packages of Duncan Hines brownie mix, according to package directions. Spread into a parchment-lined 9″x13″ pan. Sprinkle with 1 1/4 c. chocolate chunks. Make a caramel sauce by stirring 1 c. caramel bits with 3 Tbsp. evaporated milk in a small sauce pan over the stove top on low heat. Stir constantly until the caramels are melted and mixture is nice and smooth. Pour over brownie batter and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 38 minutes, or just until set and baked through. Don’t over bake! You want them to be chewy and fudgey!
I hope you get to enjoy lots of BBQ’s this summer! Be sure to check out the Food You Love social hub for more great recipe ideas too!
