  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Use fresh garlic for best flavor.
  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.

  • 1/2 unit lemon, juiced Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s completely melted and begins to foam.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant—be careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown.
  4. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and sprinkle with dried parsley for that extra flavor burst.
  5. Transfer the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites to a serving dish and enjoy it immediately!

Notes

Pair these bites with fluffy white rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal. Use fresh garlic for a better flavor and don’t overcrowd the pan while cooking.
