Ingredients
– 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
– 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
– 3/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1 teaspoon all-purpose salt-free seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– Light olive oil or canola oil for frying (amount as needed)
Instructions
1-Cut and season the chicken, then marinate: Getting started with breaded chicken skewers is simple and fun. Begin by cutting 2 pounds of chicken breast into 3/4 inch pieces and placing them in a large bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon all-purpose salt-free seasoning, then mix in 3/4 cup mayonnaise for a moist marinade. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight to boost the flavor.
2-Thread onto skewers and coat with breadcrumbs: Next, thread the marinated chicken onto 12 wooden skewers, making sure the flat sides face one direction for even cooking. Spread 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs on a plate and roll each skewer to coat them evenly.
3-Fry or bake until fully cooked: Heat light olive oil or canola oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the skewers for about 3 minutes per side until theyβre golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
4-Serve with fresh additions: Once done, remove the skewers and let them drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges and dipping sauces like ketchup, fry sauce, or ranch dressing for a tasty finish. This method takes roughly 8 minutes of cooking time after marinating, making the total preparation about 1 hour and 28 minutes.
