Chicken Spiedini is the kind of dish that stays on your mind for days after you eat it. It is simple to put together, yet it tastes like something you would order at a fancy Italian restaurant. I love making these when I want a meal that feels special but does not require hours in the kitchen.

My biggest tip for this recipe is to keep your chicken pieces roughly the same size. This helps them cook evenly so you do not end up with some pieces dried out while others are still undercooked. Serve these with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a side of pasta for a perfect dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast, 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 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, whisk the olive oil and minced garlic together.

  4. 4

    Thread the chicken pieces onto your soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Brush the skewered chicken all over with the garlic olive oil mixture.

  6. 6

    Roll the chicken skewers in the breadcrumb mixture until they are well coated on all sides.

  7. 7

    Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

  8. 8

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in a warm oven or an air fryer to get that crispy texture back. These go great with a simple lemon butter sauce for dipping.
