Instructions:
-
Prepare chicken:
Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. -
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. -
Add garlic:
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. -
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. -
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.
