Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until evenly coated.
3. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let it burn.
5. Cook Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet.
6. Brown the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.
8. Serve Immediately: Transfer the chicken bites to a serving platter, and accompany with lemon wedges.
