Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Fresh breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the chicken cubes to the breadcrumb mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are secure but not overly packed.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice golden-brown sear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Chicken Spedinis hot with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or a drizzle of lemon butter sauce.
