Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the flour.
- Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers. Lightly coat each chicken cube in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- If baking, arrange the breaded chicken skewers on a lined baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. If grilling, brush the skewers with olive oil and place on the grill.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or grill for 6-8 minutes per side until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Serve the breaded chicken skewers with a side of lemon wedges for extra zest and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in your favorite marinade for 30 minutes before breading.
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the breadcrumb mixture.
- These skewers can also be served with a dipping sauce like honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing.
