For the chicken skewers:

- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- Zest of 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt

For the Amogio Sauce:
- 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, olive oil, wine, rosemary, oregano, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Once marinated, toss in the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese until well coated. Skewer the chicken onto bamboo or metal skewers and set aside.

Notes
- In place of the wine, you can also use chicken broth.
- For the lemon juice in the sauce, juice the lemon you zested for the skewers!
- If cooking on a barbecue, soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before using. If using a grill pan, you can skip this step.
