Description

Butter Garlic Chicken Bites are tender, bite-sized pieces of chicken breasts lightly coated in seasoned flour and pan-fried to a golden brown. Tossed in a savory mixture of melted butter, fresh garlic, and parsley, this dish is perfect for a fast weeknight dinner or an easy appetizer, ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. In a large 1-gallon freezer bag, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Close the bag and shake well to mix the dry ingredients evenly. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the bag and shake again until all the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning and flour mixture. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley until thoroughly combined. Set this sauce aside to be used later.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet, making sure to leave space between them to allow even cooking. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning the pieces over gently.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked and golden, pour the prepared butter garlic mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring or tossing to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce and let the flavors meld.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the butter garlic chicken bites immediately while hot. They pair wonderfully with your favorite vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
