Garlic Butter Chicken Bites (15-Minute Recipe!)
A quick and flavorful dish perfect for dinner, featuring garlic butter chicken bites that come together in just 15 minutes.
Equipment
- 12-inch non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 ¼-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
- 1 ½ tablespoon minced fresh garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley *double for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dab chicken on all sides dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle flour, Italian seasoning, and desired amount of salt and pepper over chicken. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to skillet, butter should melt quickly. Tilt pan to evenly coat.
- Add chicken in an even layer, work to leave some space between pieces so they'll brown rather than steam.
- Let cook until nicely golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes then flip to opposite side and cook 2 minutes longer, or until nearly cooked through.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoon butter in small pieces, along with garlic and parsley. Cook 1 minute longer (chicken should be 165 in center and no longer be pink).
- Serve right away.
Notes
For extra herb flavor double up on the parsley. For another layer of flavor you can finish by juicing in half a lemon.
