Make quick, juicy chicken bites coated in a rich garlic butter sauce. This one-pan recipe is perfect for a fast weeknight dinner or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the cubed chicken evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet.
  5. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss the chicken thoroughly to coat it completely in the garlic butter sauce.
  7. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier bites, cook the chicken in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the sauce at the end.
  • You can substitute dried parsley for fresh, using 1 teaspoon.
