Are you looking for a new meal that your family will classify as “the bomb?” Well, I’ve got something awesome in store for you. These Grilled Pineapple Chicken Bombs are just what your family has been looking for.
We love pineapple around here, so anytime I can make it a part of a delicious meal, I do. I got the idea for these Grilled Pineapple Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bombs because I was in the mood for something tangy but sweet. Chicken always makes for the perfect meat to grill and I thought adding the pineapple would give it a nice twist.
I personally love anything that’s super easy to make and eat. You’ll have this recipe good to go in no time. And just like anything else “yummy” that I make in my kitchen, I have a hard time keeping the boys out of it. I can always take that as a compliment and know that at least they love my cooking.
If we were to classify this recipe in any way, I would also say that it’s extremely budget-friendly. It’s that time of year that everyone is starting to watch their budgets, including us. I love being able to put a meal together for our family that is budget friendly but also “the bomb.”
Luckily, we live in Texas, so we can grill all year round. Although, I’ve seen some pictures of my northern Facebook friends “grilling” in the snow. I’m not sure if that’s a real thing, but if it is, more power to the snow grillers. We like our Texas weather and the fact that we can grill anytime we want. Plus, who could say no to something like these Grilled Pineapple Chicken Bombs?!
I’ve made these a few times now and every time, I always get the two thumbs up. You know, when you live in a house with all boys, sometimes you never know how they are going to take a new recipe that you make. So far, so good, and I’m glad. It’s nice to give my boys a big hearty meal and a full stomach.
