Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill and Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until each piece is well coated with the seasoning mix.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken bites on the hot grill and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Grill until the chicken is fully cooked through and has developed a slight char for enhanced flavor.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: While the chicken cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened. Remove the sauce from heat.
- Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken bites on a serving plate. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce liberally over the chicken, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh herbal garnish. Enjoy hot.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning and olive oil mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier texture.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
