Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly coated.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken bites for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in heavy cream while stirring. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese along with salt and black pepper. Simmer this mixture for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. If desired, stir in lemon juice to brighten up the flavors of your creamy garlic sauce.
  6. Toss your grilled chicken bites in the creamy garlic sauce until they are well-coated or drizzle generously over them when serving.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving warm.
