We love having chicken spiedini at a local italian restaurant. I found this recipe in our local newspaper and gave it a try. We thought it was great and I hope you will too. It's a good choice for a summer cook-out. If I am short on time, I prepare the chicken as directed, but skip the rolling/skewering and simply grill it. Just as tasty and very easy. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
2/3 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
2 teaspoons grated lemons, rind of |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil (see note) |
2 tablespoons butter, melted (see note) |
Directions:
1. Place chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap; pound chicken gently with mallet until very thin (about 1/8 inch thick).
2. On waxed paper, combine bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, lemon peel and garlic.
3. In shallow dish, combine olive oil and melted butter.
4. Dip chicken into butter mixture; coat with crumb mixture.
5. Tightly roll up and secure with wooden toothpicks, if needed.
6. Cut into 1-inch-thick pieces; thread onto metal skewer.
7. Remove wooden picks.
8. Repeat with remaining chicken.
9. To grill; Place skewers on lightly greased grid over medium hot coals.
10. Cover and grill for 5 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through.
11. Note: To reduce fat and calories, substitute 1/4 cup buttermilk for the butter/oil mixture.
