Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken breast
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs, or gluten-free breadcrumbs
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Extra-light olive oil or canola oil, for frying
• 12 small wooden skewers

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into approximately ¾-inch-wide pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Season with the salt, black pepper, and Mrs. Dash seasoning. Add the mayonnaise and mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or marinate overnight for extra flavor.

2. Thread the Chicken

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers.

Try to arrange the chicken so the flatter sides face the same direction. This helps the skewers cook more evenly.

3. Coat with Breadcrumbs

Spread the Italian-style breadcrumbs onto a large plate or shallow dish.

Roll each chicken skewer in the breadcrumbs until the chicken is evenly coated on all sides.

4. Pan-Fry Until Golden

Pour enough oil into a large nonstick skillet to generously coat the bottom.

Heat the oil over medium heat.

Carefully place the breaded chicken skewers into the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, turning as needed until all sides are golden brown and crispy.

The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5. Drain and Serve

Transfer the cooked chicken skewers to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
