A rich and flavorful creamy garlic sauce that enhances grilled chicken bites, perfect for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.
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
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until chicken is well coated.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken bites for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- For an added brightness, stir in lemon juice (optional).
- Toss the grilled chicken bites in the creamy garlic sauce or drizzle the sauce on top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
For the best experience, use fresh garlic. To avoid overcooking, use a meat thermometer, chicken is done at 165°F.
