Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, and lemon juice. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.

    Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

      Cook the Chicken Bites: Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

        Add Butter and Herbs: Lower the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Sprinkle the cooked chicken with chopped parsley and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Toss everything together for another minute until well coated in buttery garlic sauce.

          Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with more fresh parsley, and serve warm. These chicken bites pair perfectly with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic butter sauce.
