Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 0.5 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 garlic (cloves, minced)
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breasts into uniform bite-sized pieces. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the chicken bites to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Sear the chicken until golden brown and crispy on the edges, about 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan with the chicken.

5. 5

   Toss the chicken in the melting butter and garlic for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the chicken is well-coated.

6. 6

   Remove from heat. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the chicken and toss to combine.

7. 7

   Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve these chicken bites with rice and roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For the best results, ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to achieve those crispy edges.
