FABULOUS GRILLED CHICKEN SPIEDINI



Fabulous Grilled Chicken Spiedini image

We love having chicken spiedini at a local italian restaurant. I found this recipe in our local newspaper and gave it a try. We thought it was great and I hope you will too. It's a good choice for a summer cook-out. If I am short on time, I prepare the chicken as directed, but skip the rolling/skewering and simply grill it. Just as tasty and very easy.

CHICKEN SPEDINI

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup small-diced tomatoes
1/4 cup julienned red onions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
6 airline-style (with drumette attached) skin-on chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup thinly sliced strips red onions
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
4 cups cooked penne, kept warm
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup warm Parmesan Cream, recipe follows
Olive oil, for drizzling
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
6 cups grated Parmesan
Salt and white pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken and stuffing: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil on medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Then add the tomatoes and onions and stir. Cook this mixture until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and finish with minced parsley. Remove from the heat, stir and let cool. Drain off any excess liquid.
  • Slice a pocket in each breast from the top area next to the drumette three-quarters into the breast towards the tip. Fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons stuffing and pat flat to ensure even cooking.
  • Warm an oven-safe nonstick pan over medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the breasts with salt and pepper. Add the breasts to the pan, skin-side first, and allow to sear until the skin is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side for 2 minutes, and then place in the oven and finish for 8 to 10 minutes. Let the chicken rest until plating; keep the oil in the pan.
  • For the pasta: Place the heated chicken pan again over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Finally, reduce the heat to low, add the tomato sauce and stir to warm for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pasta, stir and warm. Saucing the pasta should take 3 to 4 minutes. Add the Parmesan and stir.
  • Portion the pasta onto individual plates and top with a stuffed breast. Top with some Parmesan Cream and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with parsley.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter and cook until melted. Reduce the heat to medium, add the flour and cook, stirring, to create a roux; cook until the roux is a pale blond color. Reduce the heat to low, add the milk and cook, stirring, until thickened. Finally, add the cheese to the milk mixture one cup at a time, stirring until all the cheese has been added and well blended. Taste and season with salt and pepper, and then remove from the heat. Continue to stir to ensure consistency and to allow the mixture to cool.

SPIEDIES



Spiedies image

Spiedies are the pride and joy of the Greater Binghamton area of N.Y. They are such an important part of life there that the biggest party of the year celebrates them - The Spiedie Festival and Balloon Rally brings thousands into the area every summer. Chunks of chicken (my favorite), pork, lamb (traditional) or venison are marinated in a mixture of oil, vinegar and herbs for 1 to 3 days, skewered, grilled and served on Italian bread with no condiments.

GRILLED CHICKEN SPIEDIES



Grilled Chicken Spiedies image

The term 'spiedie' (SPEE-dee) comes from 'spiedo,' the Italian word for spit, and simply refers to meat grilled on a skewer. This incredibly delicious sandwich, invented in central New York by an Italian immigrant named Camillo Iacovelli, breaks all the accepted rules regarding marinating meats, and not only does it work, it's amazing!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time P1DT27m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup white wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup fresh mint leaves
6 cloves garlic
4 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3 pieces
6 skewers
6 Italian-style hoagie buns

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, mint, garlic, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a blender. Puree until liquefied, about 30 seconds.
  • Place chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag, pour in marinade and massage to coat. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken and place on the skewers. Season with salt. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turn and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill and rest the meat for a few minutes.
  • Toast hoagie rolls and spread each with some of the reserved marinade. Place a skewer on each roll and carefully remove the skewer, leaving the chicken in the bun.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your chicken spedini. Use fresh, organic chicken and vegetables whenever possible. Ensure that your olive oil is extra virgin and cold-pressed.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to keep it moist and tender. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight. However, I recommend at least 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. You should cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken spedini with your favorite dipping sauce: Serve this dish with a flavorful dipping sauce, such as a tzatziki sauce, a roasted red pepper sauce, or a garlic sauce. This will add an extra layer of flavor and richness to the chicken.

Conclusion:

Chicken spedini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and flavorful way to enjoy chicken, and it can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, I highly recommend trying chicken spedini.
