Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Pop one third of the mayonnaise into a medium bowl. In a separate medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and the oil for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for amount).

c) Cut each chicken breast into 3cm chunks. Add to the bowl of mayo, season with salt and pepper, then mix to coat well. Dip the chicken into the breadcrumbs, ensuring the chunks are completely coated, then transfer to a baking tray.

d) Once the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until slightly golden and cooked through, 20-25 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).

b) In a small bowl, combine the remaining mayo with a pinch of parsley, then season with pepper.

c) In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic and butter (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then place the pan onto medium-high heat and stir until the butter is melted, 1-2 mins.

d) Stir through the remaining parsley, then take off the heat and cover to keep warm.

3

a) Once the chicken pops are cooked, pour the garlic butter into a large bowl. Add the chicken pops and toss to coat.

b) Scatter over the grated hard Italian style cheese and toss to coat.

c) Transfer your cheesy garlic butter chicken pops to a serving dish and serve with the parsley mayo dip alongside to finish.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Tasty and well-received, especially for kids. Some found adding truffle mayonnaise enhanced the depth of flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Easy to make, though it requires several bowls and utensils for preparation.
  • Suggestions: Consider frying the chicken first with an egg dip to better bind the breadcrumbs. Avoid adding butter, as it can make the breadcrumbs mushy.
  • Portions: Some found the dish quite small, potentially not enough for a full adult meal.
