Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken bites for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Once done, set aside and keep warm.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant—be careful not to brown the garlic.
  4. Finish the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes creamy. If desired, add the lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
  5. Combine and Serve: Toss the grilled chicken bites in the creamy garlic sauce, ensuring each piece is coated generously. Alternatively, you can drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut the chicken pieces evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  • The lemon juice is optional but adds a nice fresh flavor to the sauce.
  • This sauce also works beautifully with shrimp, vegetables, or over pasta.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and sauce texture.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, you can thin it with a splash of milk or chicken broth.
