Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried Italian herbs. Toss well to coat evenly.

    Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

      Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned chicken bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

        Finishing Touches: If using, add the red pepper flakes during the last minute of cooking for an extra kick. Check the seasoning and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

          Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the garlic butter chicken bites for freshness and color.

            Serve: Serve the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites hot, with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish. Enjoy them as an appetizer or a main dish with your favorite sides!
