Description
Juicy, tender chicken bites cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce, this quick and flavorful dish is perfect for busy weeknights when you want a delicious meal ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 500 g boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings and Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken pieces.
- Cook and Season Chicken: Add chicken pieces to the pan and season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.
- Add Garlic Butter: Lower the heat slightly and add butter along with the minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the butter melts, stirring frequently to coat the chicken pieces evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken bites, and serve warm. These bites pair wonderfully with rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure each chicken piece cooks evenly and gets a nice sear.
- Serve with rice, pasta, or vegetables for a complete meal.
