Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken Bites:
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat, then cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken bites for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve grilled chicken bites drizzled with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs for juicier bites.
- The garlic sauce pairs well with roasted veggies, pasta, or rice.
