Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites

Instructions:

1. Prepare chicken:
   Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Cook:
   Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sear for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

3. Add garlic:
   Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

4. Add lemon:
   Stir in lemon juice and zest, tossing to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to let the flavors blend.

5. Garnish and serve:
   Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with rice, roasted potatoes, or a green salad.

• For a low-carb option, pair with cauliflower rice or sautéed zucchini noodles.

Tips:

• Don’t overcook the garlic — it can turn bitter quickly.

• Add a drizzle of honey for a sweet-tangy version.

• These bites also work great for wraps or meal prep bowls.
