Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the creamy herb sauce: 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and toss again until evenly coated. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh parsley, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Serve the garlic butter Parmesan chicken bites with the creamy herb sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken for a spicy kick.
- Try using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter sauce.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
