Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them crisp up when cooked.
2. In a bowl, combine the chicken with paprika, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken cubes in a single layer and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it in the garlic butter until well coated. Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld together.
6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
