Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken bites in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

        Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the garlic butter to coat it thoroughly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

          Add Finishing Touches: If desired, stir in the lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

            Serve: Transfer the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites to a serving platter. Enjoy them as an appetizer, over pasta, or in a wrap!
