Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- ¼ cup olive oil (plus more for shallow frying)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ a lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ stick unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ a lemon (juice and zest)
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Method
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Cover and marinate for 30 minutes if the time allows, and up to 12 hours in the refrigerator.
- In a shallow dish, mix panko, Italian breadcrumbs, and parmesan cheese.
- Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat.
- Thread 4-5 chicken pieces onto each skewer. Set aside while heating the skillet or grill.
- To shallow fry: heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add skewers and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
- To grill: preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through.
- To bake: Bake skewers at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway.
- While chicken cooks, make the sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer sauce for a minute, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
- Serve chicken skewers hot with sauce spooned over or on the side.
