Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites Recipe

 Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites are tender, juicy pieces of chicken coated in a golden, buttery garlic sauce and sprinkled with plenty of Parmesan cheese. They’re quick to make, full of flavor, and perfect as an appetizer, snack, or main dish. With crisp edges and a savory cheesy coating, these chicken bites are always a crowd favorite — especially when served with a side of ranch or marinara dipping sauce.

1. Cooking Time: 25 minutes

2. Serving: 4 servings

3. Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

4. Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into small, even pieces. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. Season: In a bowl, mix salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this over the chicken and toss to coat.

  3. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  4. Make the garlic butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Combine: Return the chicken to the pan and toss in the garlic butter. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and stir to coat evenly.

  6. Serve: Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm, with extra Parmesan if you like.

6. Tips:

  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier texture.

  • For a crispy version, lightly coat the chicken in flour before pan-frying.

  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.

  • These chicken bites also work great in wraps or salads.

  • To make them in the oven, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, then toss with garlic butter and Parmesan.
