Chicken Skewers Served Over Creamy Mashed Potatoes is a hearty, comforting dish that pairs juicy, well-seasoned chicken skewers with buttery, smooth mashed potatoes. It’s an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing meal ideal for weeknights or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

  1. 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
  2. 2 tbsp olive oil
  3. 2 tbsp lemon juice
  4. 3 garlic cloves, minced
  5. 1 tsp paprika
  6. 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
  7. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  8. Wooden or metal skewers
  9. 2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  10. 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  11. 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream, warmed
  12. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  13. Optional: 1/4 cup sour cream or cream cheese

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20–30 minutes to prevent burning.

  1. In a bowl, toss cubed chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
  3. Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and golden. Alternatively, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–18 minutes or cook on a grill pan.
  4. Meanwhile, boil chopped potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
  5. Add butter, warmed milk or cream, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth. Stir in sour cream or cream cheese if using.
  6. Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates and top with hot chicken skewers. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.

Notes

  1. Add grilled vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the skewers for variety.
  2. Use Cajun or BBQ seasoning for a different flavor profile.
  3. Loaded mashed potatoes (with bacon, cheddar, scallions) make a fun twist.
  4. Mashed cauliflower is a great low-carb alternative.
  5. Reheat mashed potatoes with a splash of milk for best texture.
