Garlic Butter Chicken Bites
Garlic Butter Chicken is a flavorful dish that combines tender chicken cooked in a rich, aromatic garlic butter sauce. Perfect as a starter, this dish is easy to prepare and packs a delightful punch with its creamy and garlicky flavors.
Ingredients
- 150 grams Chicken breast (boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (avoid burning).
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat it evenly with the garlic butter sauce. Add lemon juice and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and give it a quick stir. Serve hot as a starter with bread or a light salad on the side.
Note
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.
- To add extra flavor, you can include a splash of white wine while making the sauce.
- Ensure the chicken is not overcooked to retain its juiciness.
