Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the bite-sized pieces of chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken bites for about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally until they are fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, set them aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and stir in grated Parmesan cheese along with salt and black pepper. Simmer this mixture for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. For an extra layer of flavor, add lemon juice into your creamy garlic sauce if desired. Stir well to combine.
  5. Toss your grilled chicken bites in the creamy garlic sauce until they are fully coated. Alternatively, you can drizzle the sauce over the chicken when serving.
  6. Garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm. Enjoy this delightful meal!
