Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites

You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Our favorite are thighs because the flavor is more rich and chicken thigh bites are less dry. If you're cooking with chicken breast, make sure to eat them as soon as they're cooled. If you let chicken breast sit too long or get cold, they will taste dry and tough.

Can you add veggies with this? Sure you can, but make sure it's a veggie that can cook quick at the same time as the chicken. Also, make sure to keep the veggies cut small.

Ingredients

1.5 pounds (680 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs , cut into about 1” bite sized pieces (approximately)
1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) kosher salt , or to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper , to taste
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) all-purpose flour or cornstarch
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) butter , divided
3 cloves garlic , minced or crushed
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) grated parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) chopped parsley

Instructions

In bowl stir together the chicken, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle flour or cornstarch evenly over all pieces of chicken and stir to coat. If needed, sprinkle a little more until all pieces of chicken are coated
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter. When butter is completely melted and sizzling hot, add chicken to pan and spread into a single layer. Leaving space between the chicken as it cooks gives more crispy sides.
Cook chicken on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side (depending on heat, size of chicken, breast or thigh meat, etc.). Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked on all sides, browned and cooked through.
Add remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter and the garlic. Cook for additional minute or until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Turn off the heat and stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. Add additional salt and pepper to taste and then serve warm.
