Deliciously Easy Garlic Herbed Chicken Bites for a Quick and Flavorful Meal
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. This will ensure even cooking and make the chicken easy to handle and enjoy.
Step 2: Make the Marinade
In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 3: Marinate
Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and toss to coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the meat.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want the pan to be nice and hot, ready to sear the chicken to perfection.
Step 5: Cook the Chicken
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side, or until the chicken is golden brown. Flip the pieces and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the top. Serve the Easy Garlic Herbed Chicken Bites immediately, while they’re hot and crispy.
Notes
The Easy Garlic Herbed Chicken Bites are incredibly versatile, making them the perfect addition to your culinary repertoire. If you don’t have all the fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute dried herbs, using about one-third the amount called for in the recipe. These flavorful chicken bites make a fantastic appetizer, served with a creamy dipping sauce or simply on their own.
