Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch pieces, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and toss the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Thread the coated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing the chicken evenly among them.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the chicken spiedini immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
