Description

Tender chicken pieces bathed in a rich, buttery sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s bubbly.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken bites, letting them sizzle in the butter.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, mixing to coat the chicken.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate chicken in spices a few hours ahead. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
