Chicken Spiedini

Author: Gaby

Ingredients

  • Chicken Spiedini:
  • What it took for 4:
  • * 2 pounds roma tomatoes roughly chopped
  • * 1 Tbs. butter
  • * 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • * 2 Tbs. sugar
  • * 1 pinch coarse salt
  • * 1 pinch freshly ground pepper
  • * 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized chunks
  • * 1 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
  • * 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley plus more for garnish
  • * 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • * 2 tsp lemon zest
  • * 2 cloves garlic minced
  • * 4 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • * 2 Tbs. butter melted
  • * 1 pound spaghetti
  • * 2 Tbs lemon juice for spritzing
  • * coarse salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Start by stewing your tomatoes. Add the chopped tomatoes to a saucepan and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Increase the heat, toss in the butter, stock, sugar, salt and pepper and simmer for 45 more minutes.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, garlic and a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
  • In another, combine 2 Tbs. oil and melted butter.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces through the butter/oil mixture, then through the breadcrumb mixture. Place pieces on wooden skewers.
  • Heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
  • Cook the pasta until it reaches al dente. Drain and add to the tomato sauce. Toss to combine.
  • Serve chicken spiedini over a bed of spaghetti. Garnish with more parsley, freshly grated parmesan and for the sake of the babies, more lemon juice!
