Certainly! Here’s a quick and flavorful recipe for Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss the chicken in the garlic butter sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken bites. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
