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)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch pieces, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and toss the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

Step 6

Thread the coated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing the chicken evenly among them.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the chicken spiedini immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
