Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds of chicken tenders
  • 1 1/2 cups Zia's Sweet Italian Salad Dressing
  • 3 cups Zia's White Wine Lemon Butter Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups cheese of your choice, grated

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken tenders
    To start, place the chicken tenders and Sweet Italian Salad Dressing inside a zip-lock bag. Make sure to remove as much air as you can before sealing it up.
    Allow the chicken to marinate inside the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but preferably up to 4 hours.

  • Make the wine sauce
    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook them until they are finished. Then, add the Prosciutto and give it a stir.
    Finally, pour in the white wine butter sauce and mix the ingredients well. Bring the sauce to a simmer and leave it for 5 minutes.
    Once finished, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
    2 tablespoons butter, 2 garlic cloves, minced, 2 cups butter mushrooms, sliced, 2 cups Prosciutto ham, 3 cups Zia's White Wine Lemon Butter Sauce
  • Make the breading and coat the chicken
    Next, make your seasoned breading mixture. Combine the Italian breadcrumbs, Italian herb mix, and fine salt. Mix the ingredients well to ensure they are combined.
    Then, remove the marinated chicken tenders from the ziplock bags. Place each tender into the seasoned breadcrumbs and ensure they are coated well.
    Add the chicken pieces onto a skewer and set each portion aside. You should get about 6-8 skewers in total.
    1 1/2 cups Italian breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs, 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • Cook the chicken skewers
    Heat your olive oil in a frying pan or on a griddle over medium heat. Place a couple of skewers in the pan and cook them for roughly 3 minutes per side (12 minutes total).
    Of course, only remove the chicken once it has been fully cooked.
    1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Serve the chicken spiedini
    Finally, place the grilled chicken skewers on a serving plate. Top them with your grated cheese and delicious garlic butter sauce. Serve this dish while your chicken is still hot.
    2 cups cheese of your choice, grated

Notes

If you are using wooden skewers for this recipe, make sure to soak them in warm water for 20 minutes before adding the chicken. This will ensure that they don't burn over the heat of the pan.
Don't overload the pan when cooking your chicken skewers. If you do, they won't cook evenly. Work in batches of 2 to 4 depending on the size of your pan.
If you'd like you can make this recipe inside an oven. Preheat your oven to 360ºF (180ºC) and bake the chicken for about 20 minutes.
