Table of Contents
🥘 Ingredients
What You Need to Make Perfect Lemon & Garlic Chicken Bites
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, patted dry and cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried basil
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- Juice of ½ lemon (about 2 tbsp)
🍳 Preparation
Step-by-Step Instructions
H3 – Step 1: Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, combine oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken pieces. Toss to coat completely.
H3 – Step 2: Melt the Butter
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and swirl the pan to coat the base evenly.
H3 – Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the chicken in a single even layer.
(Do not overcrowd the pan—this ensures perfect browning.)
Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
H3 – Step 4: Add the Garlic & Lemon
Reduce heat slightly. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, the minced garlic, and the lemon juice.
Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the sauce lightly thickens.
H3 – Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Remove from heat, sprinkle with extra parsley if you like, and serve warm.
These chicken bites pair perfectly with rice, pasta, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
