Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• Juice of ½ medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions:

1. Prep the Chicken:
   1. Start by patting dry the chicken breast pieces with a paper towel.
   2. This helps ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice golden crust.
   3. Then, in a small bowl, combine the oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
   4. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over all sides of the chicken pieces, making sure they’re well coated.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   1. In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
   2. Once melted, add the seasoned chicken to the pan in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd it.
   3. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until all sides are golden brown and the chicken is mostly cooked through.
3. Add Garlic and Lemon:
   1. Next, add the remaining butter to the skillet.
   2. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
   3. Then, squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and stir everything together to combine.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   1. Once the chicken is cooked through and coated in the lemon garlic butter sauce, it’s ready to serve.
   2. Garnish with additional chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
   3. These Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites are best enjoyed hot and straight from the skillet.
