Ingredients
- 20 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dried oregano, dried basil, sweet paprika, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in this seasoned flour mixture until they are evenly coated.

- Remove the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites from the heat and sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top. Serve the delicious bites hot and enjoy every last morsel!
Notes
To ensure your Garlic Butter Chicken Bites turn out perfectly every time, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
– Cook the chicken thoroughly – Make sure the chicken is cooked through without drying it out. The ideal internal temperature is 165°F.
– Maintain the right skillet temperature – Keep the heat at medium-high to achieve that perfect golden-brown sear on the outside of the chicken bites.
– Experiment with additional seasonings – Feel free to add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning for a spicy twist.
– Consider using garlic powder – If you don’t have fresh garlic on hand, garlic powder can be a suitable substitute.
