Ingredients
Chicken Bites
3 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, but into bite size pieces
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
1 teaspoon onion powder or to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup butter unsalted
Sauce
2 tablespoon butter unsalted
6 cloves garlic minced
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce
Garnish
1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Instructions
Cook Chicken: Melt the ¼ cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and season with the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, onion powder and red pepper flakes. Toss well to make sure each chicken bite is fully seasoned. Cook on all sides until no longer pink and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Deglaze Pan: In the same skillet melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, around 30 seconds. Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth, scraping all the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the lemon juice, hot sauce and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Finish & Serve: Add the chicken bites back to the skillet and toss well with the sauce, making sure the chicken is fully coated in sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve.
