Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a mixing bowl, combine butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned.
- Transfer the browned chicken bites to the prepared baking sheet.
- Pour the chicken stock into the skillet used to cook the chicken. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let the stock simmer for a minute or two to reduce slightly.
- Drizzle the reduced chicken stock over the chicken bites on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
If using an oven safe skillet, no need to use a sheet pan. Simply add the chicken back into the skillet after the broth as reduced and add the skillet into the oven instead.
