These juicy grilled chicken bites are paired with a rich, creamy garlic sauce for the perfect bite-sized delight! Simple, flavorful, and irresistible.
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Grill the chicken bites for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the grilled chicken bites into the creamy garlic sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
