Lemon & Garlic Chicken Bites recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice, tossing the chicken to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
6. Serve hot with rice, roasted veggies, or a side of your choice.
