Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss until well-coated.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned chicken bites in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

      Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

        Combine and Flavor: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken and toss everything together in the garlic butter for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

            Serve: Serve your garlic butter chicken bites hot, alongside rice, pasta, or a fresh salad.
