Make these quick and tasty garlic butter chicken bites perfect for busy weeknights. You get an irresistible appetizer or main dish that comes together in only 15 minutes, serving something special without much time commitment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into uniform 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels to help them brown better.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the chicken. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the chicken.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, you can lightly dredge the chicken cubes in a small amount of flour mixed with salt and pepper before searing.
  • Serve these easy chicken bites over rice, pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete weeknight chicken meal.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with heavy cream for the last minute of cooking.
