Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Cook Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
6. Combine Flavors: Once the chicken is cooked, stir to ensure it is well-coated in the garlic butter sauce.
7. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken bites for a fresh finish.
8. Serve: Transfer the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites to a serving platter. Serve hot with lemon wedges if desired.
