Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Bites: In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface and cook the chicken bites for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley.
- Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken bites on a serving platter. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
