Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 240 ml Skimmed buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs and panko breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and let excess buttermilk drip off. Coat each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Thread the coated chicken cubes onto the wooden skewers, with about 5-6 pieces on each skewer.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken skewers with cooking spray to help the breadcrumbs crisp up during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
