Savory Garlic Butter Chicken Bites are tender chicken pieces coated in a rich garlic butter sauce with aromatic herbs and spices. These flavorful bites are perfect as a quick dinner or appetizer, and they are guaranteed to impress with minimal effort.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, push the chicken to one side. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Once melted, add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden brown.
  4. Combine: Stir the chicken into the garlic butter, ensuring each piece is coated with the rich sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the garlic butter sauce.

Sprinkle grated parmesan or mozzarella cheese over the chicken after cooking for a cheesy finish.

For juicier chicken, substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the breast.

If making ahead, store cooked chicken and sauce separately and reheat together before serving.
