What’s in this Chicken Spiedini Recipe

- Chicken Breasts: They’ll need to be cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Olive Oil: Try to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- White Wine: Learn everything you need to know about which wines to cook with HERE! You can also swap this ingredient with chicken broth if you’d like.
- Herbs: You’ll need fresh rosemary and dried oregano to create the very best herbaceous flavor.
- Lemon: After zesting a lemon, squeeze the juice and add it to the sauce for more flavor.
- Salt and Pepper: Go very light with your salt! It can be easy to make the chicken too salty. Also, freshly cracked black pepper will create the best flavor.
- Panko Bread Crumbs: This is the ingredient that really makes the consistency of the chicken so good!
- Parmesan Cheese: For the BEST flavor and consistency, use freshly grated parmesan cheese.
PRO TIP: Be sure to soak your skewers in some water for at least 30 minutes before you place them on the grill with the pieces of chicken attached to them.

Instructions
-
In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, olive oil, wine, rosemary, oregano, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20-30 minutes.

Once marinated, toss in the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese until well coated. Skewer the chicken onto bamboo or metal skewers and set aside.
-
Heat your grill pan over medium-high heat until warm. Brush on some oil to prevent the skewers from sticking. Grill the skewers for 4 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Notes
- In place of the wine, you can also use chicken broth.
- For the lemon juice in the sauce, juice the lemon you zested for the skewers!
- If cooking on a barbecue, soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before using. If using a grill pan, you can skip this step.
