✨ Grilled Chicken Bites with Creamy Garlic Sauce ✨
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cloves garlic, minced (or more, if you’re a garlic lover!)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions:
1️⃣ Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels. This helps them get a beautiful sear on the grill. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2️⃣ Grill to Perfection: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken cubes for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
3️⃣ Craft the Creamy Dream: While the chicken is grilling, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant (be careful not to burn it!).
4️⃣ Simmer and Stir: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5️⃣ Marry the Flavors: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add the grilled chicken bites to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the creamy garlic sauce.
6️⃣ Serve with Style: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. These bites are amazing on their own as an appetizer or over rice, pasta, or a bed of greens for a complete meal!
