Ingredients

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp avocado mayo

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 1/2 lb organic air-chilled boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into small squares

  • 5 tbsp softened grass-fed butter (or olive oil alternative)

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1/4 tsp paprika

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese


Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, avocado mayo, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and paprika.

  • Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes (or refrigerate to marinate longer).

  • In a small bowl, mix butter, parsley, lemon juice, paprika, and pepper. Set aside.

  • Thread chicken onto soaked wooden or metal skewers.

  • Air Fryer Method: Preheat to 400°F. Spray basket with oil and place skewers in. Cook for 13 minutes, flipping halfway. Brush with garlic butter, cook 1 more minute, then remove.

  • Oven Method: Preheat to 425°F. Line a baking sheet and lightly grease. Bake skewers for 20–22 minutes, flipping halfway. Brush with garlic butter, then broil for 1–2 minutes.

  • Top with more garlic butter and a sprinkle of parmesan. Serve warm.
