Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, diced

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice or pasta, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

    Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute—be careful not to burn the garlic.

      Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies become soft and translucent.

        Cook the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

          Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add lemon juice and additional salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the butter chicken over cooked rice or pasta for a hearty meal.
