Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ 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

Be sure the chicken pieces are cut to a uniform size so they cook evenly and won't dry out.
Let the chicken bites cook for a few minutes on each side to give them the perfect golden-brown sear. If you stir too much, they won't get that crust.
Customize the seasoning to your liking. You can add buffalo sauce, chili flakes or hot sauce if you want more heat.
Pair these chicken bites with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies for a quick meal.
