Chicken Kabobs with Prosciutto and Apricots
This is one of my husband’s favorite ways to eat chicken, and it’s simple enough that he doesn’t mind cooking it every now and then, either! Those are my favorite recipes, the ones that can have us both in the kitchen together, one of us prepping the sides or doing the cleanup while the other cooks, with some music or TV in the background. This is also great on the grill or with pretty much any other stone fruit, and if you can’t find fresh apricots, you can use dried instead (one whole fruit instead of a slice for each strip of prosciutto).

Hi Christina,
thanks for this recipe which I bookmarked for a barbeque evening that I am planning.
While I love sweet-salty food and look forward to the grilled prosciutto, I wonder if you might have an idea for a substitute, since some of my guests will not eat pork for religious reasons. Would love to offer them a yummy alternative.
Thank you!
Christine
You could skip the prosciutto. Unfortunately, the only other alternative I know is any good is bacon!
