In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic powder and paprika, if using.
Coat the chicken:
First dip each skewer in the beaten egg, making sure to cover all the chicken pieces.
Then roll the skewers in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres.
Cook:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and brush with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until golden and crispy.
As an alternative to baking in the oven:
The skewers can be fried in a pan with hot oil. Fry the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Preparation:
Serve the breaded chicken skewers hot, topped with any sauce you like, such as mayonnaise, ketchup, yogurt sauce, or fresh salad.
Suggestions:
Variations: You can add herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary to the breading for an extra touch of flavor.
Marinating: For an even better flavor, marinate the chicken cubes for 30 minutes with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and your favorite spices before breading.
Breaded chicken skewers are crispy, tasty and easy to prepare, a real hit for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!
