Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 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

For the creamy garlic sauce:

  • 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.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken bites for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Add lemon juice for a hint of brightness (optional).
  6. Toss the grilled chicken bites in the creamy garlic sauce or drizzle the sauce on top.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for a more intense aroma.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently to maintain texture.
  • Try different cheeses like Asiago or Romano for a unique twist on the sauce.
  • Experiment with side dishes like mashed potatoes or grilled asparagus for a complete meal.
