This recipe went viral on TikTok, and it's no surprise! Garlic and parmesan chicken skewers are a clear example of how simple ingredients can give an impressive result. The chicken is marinated in mayonnaise, spices and parmesan, which makes it extra juicy and flavorful even with quick cooking. The combination of garlic butter and grated parmesan gives a rounded, rich flavor that works just as well on weekdays as on weekends.
The dish is especially well suited to an air fryer, where the chicken gets a nice surface while staying juicy. The result is easy to make, consistent and perfect for both family dinners and meal prep.
Here's how!
- Cut the chicken breasts into even bite-sized pieces.
- Put the chicken in a large bowl.
- Add olive oil, mayonnaise, parmesan and all the spices.
- Mix thoroughly until all the chicken is evenly coated.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cooking
- Air fryer: 200Β°C for about 10 minutes
- Turn the skewers halfway through if needed
- The chicken should be cooked through and lightly golden
- Melt the butter gently over low heat.
- Stir in garlic, parsley, parmesan and black pepper.
- Brush the warm garlic butter over the chicken skewers right after cooking.
-
Serving
Serve the chicken skewers warm, ideally with salad, rice, potatoes, or as a protein in wraps or bowls.
Tips!
- The mayonnaise in the marinade helps the chicken stay juicy.
- Make sure the pieces are evenly sized for even cooking.
- The dish works just as well on the grill or in the oven.
- Also great cold as part of a packed lunch.
Want to vary the dish? You can:
- add grated lemon zest to the garlic butter for freshness
- swap parsley for fresh thyme or oregano
- use boneless chicken thigh for an even juicier result
- serve with a yogurt or garlic dip
