Nani's Classic Chicken Spiedini
These tender chicken skewers are coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and grilled to golden perfection.
recipesbynani.comChicken Spiedini is one of those meals that feels fancy enough for guests but is easy enough for a busy Tuesday night. Everyone loves how the breadcrumbs get crispy on the outside while the chicken stays juicy and tender on the inside.
My top tip for this recipe is to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least thirty minutes before you start. This prevents them from burning up on the grill while the chicken cooks through.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers
👩🍳Instructions

Soak your wooden skewers in a bowl of water for thirty minutes.

In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Place the olive oil in a separate small bowl.
- 4
Dip each piece of chicken into the olive oil, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until it is well coated.
- 5
Thread the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers.
- 6
Heat your grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally so all sides get nice and golden brown.
- 8
Remove from the heat once the chicken is cooked through and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
These skewers are wonderful served alongside a fresh garden salad or some roasted vegetables. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them in the oven to keep the breading nice and crispy.
