Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cups Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Step 3

Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers.

Step 6

Drizzle the chicken skewers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring that they are lightly coated.

Step 7

Roll the skewered chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks well.

Step 8

Place the breaded chicken skewers in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Step 9

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the lemon juice. Remove the saucepan from heat once melted and well combined.

Step 10

Drizzle the lemon-butter mixture over the chicken skewers.

Step 11

Bake the chicken skewers in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.

Step 12

Once done, remove the chicken spiedini from the oven and serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as pasta or a fresh green salad.
