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)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are secure but not overly packed.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
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.
