Ingredients
1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 tablespoons butter (melted) [reduce to about 3/4 of this amount; make up the difference with unsweetened applesauce or plain Greek yogurt]
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))
Method
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
4
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.
5
Transfer the browned chicken bites to the prepared baking sheet.
6
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.
7
Drizzle the reduced chicken stock over the chicken bites on the baking sheet.
8
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.
9
Once done, remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Storage
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.
