Ingredients
- 2 Pounds chicken breasts
Marinade/Amogio Sauce
- ½ Cup Italian dressing
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ Cup butter softened
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Breading
- ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- ½ Cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 Tablespoons parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Combine the marinade/Amogio sauce ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Pound the chicken breasts thin and place in the bowl with the marinade. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- Combine the breading ingredients and place in a shallow dish or plate.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees).
- Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off excess marinade.
- Roll each chicken breast tightly then slice into 1-2 inch chunks and place on skewers to hold together.
- Roll the chicken skewers through the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
- If cooking on a griddle or flat top, oil the cooking surface and cook the chicken spiedini skewers for about 90 seconds then flip over and cook for an additional 90 seconds. Continue to flip every 60-90 seconds until all sides are browned and the chicken is cooked through. This typically takes about 8-10 total minutes but can vary. Internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees.
- If cooking on a grill, oil the grates and cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned, then move to indirect heat and cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Serve warm with your favorite pasta.
