Garlic Butter Chicken Bites
Garlic Butter Chicken Bites are tender chunks of chicken seared in a delicious garlic butter sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Equipment
- heavy pan
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1 ½" cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado, vegetable, canola, etc)
- ½ teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes optional
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 3 large green onions, minced
- ¼ cup minced Italian flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken well with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour and shake off the excess. Place the floured chicken on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Heat a heavy pan to medium-high heat. Add the oil and once shimmering, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes total). Work in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Turn the heat to low and add the butter and garlic. Once the garlic turns golden, add the red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the wine and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook until the sauce reduces by half.
- Turn the heat to medium, return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan, and toss until warmed through (about 2 minutes). Taste test and season with more salt and pepper if required. Mix in the green onion and parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
