Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

Time: 25MIN | Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, patted dry and cut into 1- to 1 ½-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

  • ¼ cup chicken stock

  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • Lemon wedges

Directions

  1. Whisk together flour, salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and garlic powder in a large bowl until combined. Add chicken pieces, and gently toss until evenly coated.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Once oil is shimmering, add half of the chicken pieces; cook until browned. Flip chicken pieces, and cook until browned. Remove chicken from skillet, and transfer to a bowl. Repeat process with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and chicken pieces.

  3. Reduce heat in skillet to medium. Add garlic; stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden brown.

  4. Pour chicken stock into skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute.

  5. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, and stir until completely melted before adding next piece. Immediately remove skillet from heat. Pour sauce over chicken in bowl, and toss to coat. Garnish with parsley; serve immediately with lemon wedges.
