Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, and paprika if you choose to add that beautiful warmth of spice.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam and shimmer.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it releases a fragrant nutty aroma—oh, the magic of garlic!
- Add the chicken pieces into the skillet, cooking until they are beautifully browned and completely cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

- Serve warm, either as an enticing appetizer or a satisfying entree alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
Make-ahead tip: Marinate the chicken in advance for deeper flavor. Store in the fridge until ready to cook. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
