Authentic Upstate Spiedies. - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 -3 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white vinegar or 1/4 cup dry wine
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped or pressed)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon mint leaf, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Preparation
-
Dice chicken breasts into 1\" cubes.
Blend the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar or wine, garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic salt, crushed mint leaf, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Add chicken to the marinade, stirring. I like to bag it in zip lock bags (I always make a double batch so I can freeze some).
This needs to marinate at least 24 hrs in the refrigerator. The acid content of the marinade tenderizes the chicken by \"cooking\" it to a degree.
Skewer the meat on kabob sticks; grill until firm.
Serve on sliced Italian bread, and God bless you if you can get Romas from upstate NY or Raliegh NC.
