Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken bites with salt, pepper, and paprika. Make sure they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.

    Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbling, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken bites to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

        Add Italian Herbs: Once cooked, sprinkle the dried Italian herbs over the chicken and mix well to coat all the bites in the garlic butter sauce.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, and transfer the chicken bites to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the pan on top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
