Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Bites:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and mix well. Marinate for 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a low simmer. Add Parmesan and Dijon mustard, stir until smooth and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface. Grill chicken pieces for 3–4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Transfer chicken to a serving dish. Drizzle with warm garlic cream sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the creamy garlic sauce.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
