Equipment
- 1 grill
- 1 large bowl
- skewers
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs boneless chicken thighs
- salt and pepper
Marinade
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
breadcrumb mixture
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients until combined.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch squares. Combine the chicken with the marinade and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Combine breadcrumb mixture ingredients on a large plate. Once the chicken is done marinating, skewer the chicken thighs onto the skewer. Toss the chicken skewers in the breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly covered.
- Preheat grill to medium. Spray the grill with cooking spray to avoid chicken sticking to the grill. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and turn every 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 degrees (about 12-16 minutes total).
- Place the chicken spiedini on a plate and squirt with lemon juice. Serve hot!
Notes
- Marinate for at least 15 minutes but preferably 1-4 hours.
- Spray the grill right before you put the spiedini on the grill so that the breadcrumbs don't stick to the grill and rip off.
