Chicken Spiedini with Garlic Parmesan Sauce
🇮🇹 Italy
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- Lemon wedges, to serve
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs (Italian-style or panko)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove, finely grated
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Pinch kosher salt
Steps
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- On a rimmed baking sheet, combine breadcrumbs, olive oil, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and spread into an even layer.
- Heat olive oil and grated garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until fragrant but not browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cool slightly, then stir in parsley, lemon juice, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt to make the sauce.
- Thread marinated chicken onto 6 skewers. Roll each skewer in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it adheres on all sides.
- Preheat grill to medium heat and oil the grates. Grill skewers, covered, turning regularly, until breadcrumbs are golden brown and chicken reaches 165°F internally, about 12 to 14 minutes. Remove and rest 5 to 10 minutes.
- Drizzle garlic-Parmesan sauce over the skewers and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
