  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 3/4″ wide pieces
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Mrs. Dash seasoning blend
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Breading and Cooking

  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • Extra light olive oil or canola oil, enough to generously cover the bottom of the pan for frying
  • 12 small wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Marinade: Cut the chicken breast into 3/4″ wide pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Season with the salt, freshly ground black pepper, and Mrs. Dash seasoning. Add 3/4 cup of mayonnaise and mix thoroughly to coat all the pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to marinate and enhance flavor.
  2. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the 12 small wooden skewers, aligning the flat sides in the same direction to ensure even cooking across each skewer.
  3. Bread the Skewers: Pour the Italian-style breadcrumbs onto a large plate or shallow dish. Roll each chicken skewer in the breadcrumbs carefully until evenly coated on all sides.
  4. Pan Fry the Skewers: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to generously cover the bottom. Place the breaded chicken skewers into the hot oil and sauté for about 3 minutes per side. Flip them carefully until the breadcrumbs turn golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
  5. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a paper towel-lined platter to absorb excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy this crispy, juicy chicken appetizer or main dish.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute Italian-style breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness.
  • Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to guarantee the chicken is safely cooked.
  • Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning if cooking on grill instead of pan.
  • Serve with a side of dipping sauce like ranch, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli for extra flavor.
