Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towel, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • ½ medium lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over all sides of the chicken pieces. Toss to evenly coat.
  • In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Tilt the pan slightly to coat the base of the pan.
  • Once melted, add chicken to the pan in an even layer to ensure even cooking. (Do not overcrowd the pan.) Cook 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until all sides are golden brown and the chicken is mostly cooked through.
  • Add the remaining butter. Once melted, add garlic and cook one more minute, or until fragrant, and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Drizzle lemon juice over chicken and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
