Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite size pieces
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp butter (melted)
- 4 tsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Add flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder to a 1-gallon freezer bag. Close and shake to combine ingredients. Add chicken and shake until chicken is well coated. Set aside.
- Add melted butter, garlic, and parsley to a small bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
- Over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add olive and prepared chicken to the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side leaving space in between the chicken pieces. Cook until golden brown.
- Pour prepared butter mixture over the chicken and continue to cook for 1 minute.
- Serve while hot with your favorite veggies.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Two chicken thighs are approximately equivalent to one chicken breast. Additionally, you should increase the cooking time by approximately 1 minute.
- To enhance the herb flavor, add twice the amount of parsley. For an additional depth of flavor, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
- To store leftover garlic butter chicken bites, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. They should last for up to 3-4 days.
