Step-by-Step Instructions: 🍳
1. CUBE & SEASON CHICKEN 🍗
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut into bite-sized 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2. SEAR UNTIL CRISPY 🍳
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil. Place chicken pieces in a single layer (don't overcrowd!). Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a deep golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. MELT GARLIC BUTTER 🧄
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes directly into the pan. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is foamy. Spoon the garlic butter continuously over the chicken bites.
4. GARNISH & SERVE ✨
Remove from heat. Toss in chopped fresh parsley and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately while piping hot over steamed rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes! 😋🔥
