Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add the Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Push the chicken to one side of the pan and melt the butter on the other side. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir to coat the chicken in the garlic butter sauce.
  4. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy with rice, pasta, or your favorite sides.
