🍋 lemon Garlic Chicken Bites:
Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– ½ tsp dried oregano
– ½ tsp dried basil
– 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
– ½ tsp kosher salt
– ¼ tsp black pepper
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
– 2 tbsp minced garlic
– Juice of ½ medium lemon (about 2 tbsp)
Instructions:
1. Preparation:Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch in size.
2. Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, basil, parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over all sides of the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
3. Cooking:In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and mostly cooked through.
4. Garlic Infusion: Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Finishing Touch: Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken, stirring gently to combine. This adds a bright, citrusy flavor and helps create a delicious sauce.
6. Serve:Transfer the lemon garlic chicken bites to a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
