Ingredients 

  • 2 lbs Chicken Tenderloins, (cut into 3 inch chunks)
  • 2 tbsp Mayo
  • 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt, (to taste)

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter, (melted)
  • 8 cloves Garlic, (diced)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, (diced)
  • 1 tbsp Hot Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt, (more or less as desired)
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, (freshly grated)

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning in the oven.
  • Combine chicken tenderloins, mayo, cajun seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix everything together, ensuring all of the chicken is coated in mayo and seasonings.
  • Thread the chicken onto the soaked skewers, leaving about 1 inch on each end.
  • Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and browned.
  • While the chicken is cooking, combine all of the ingredients for the garlic parmesan sauce in a bowl. Mix together.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, set the oven to broil. Brush the chicken with about 1/4 cup of the sauce. Broil for 1-2 minutes.
  • Baste skewers with remaining sauce.

Notes

  • If you have time, marinate the chicken in the mayo and seasonings for about 30 minutes to let all of that flavor get into the meat.
  • Once the chicken is finished, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes prior to eating. This will allow all of the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken making each bite tender and juicy!
  • Even Spacing: Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Store your leftover chicken skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply microwave for about 1-2 minutes or place in the oven at 425 degrees F for about 6-8 minutes.
