Easy Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

• Cooks in under 15 minutes.
• Low carb and keto-friendly.
• High in protein.
• Makes for the best leftovers!

Ingredient Notes

• Chicken – I used boneless skinless chicken breasts but boneless chicken thighs work too. However, chicken thighs will take longer to cook. The safe temperature for cooked chicken is 165 degrees F.
• Garlic – Use fresh!
• Worcestershire Sauce – Optional, but I highly recommend it.
• Hot Sauce – Doesn’t have to be a spicy hot sauce, a mild hot sauce will do.
• Red Crushed Pepper – Optional.
• Butter – Use good quality unsalted butter.

How To Make

1. Start by trimming the chicken fat and slicing the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the chicken along with the spices, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken well.
3. Cook the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through. It shouldn’t take too long.
4. Stir the chicken and check for seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Top Tips

• I seasoned the chicken with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Feel free to season the chicken with Cajun seasoning or the spices of your choice.
• Don’t overcook the chicken!
• If you want this to be super saucy, feel free to add 1/2 cup of white wine or chicken broth.
• Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
• Serve with white rice, quinoa, or creamy mashed potatoes.
• Add some veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers to switch it up.

Can I Bake This Instead?

Yes, preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep in mind that the chicken bites will cook a lot quicker on the stovetop.

Storage

Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in a skillet and cook until warm.
