# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ For the Chicken
01 -
1 lb chicken breasts without skin or bones, diced into 1-inch chunks
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon paprika
04 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
¼ teaspoon salt
06 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
07 -
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (skip if you don't like heat)
→ For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
08 -
½ cup mayonnaise
09 -
¼ cup sour cream
10 -
2 cloves garlic, chopped super fine
11 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, diced
12 -
1 teaspoon lemon juice
13 -
¼ teaspoon salt
14 -
¼ teaspoon black pepper
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Mix chicken chunks with olive oil in a bowl. Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne if you want some kick. Make sure all pieces get coated evenly. Let it sit while you get the grill ready.
02 -
Get your grill or pan hot over medium heat. Put the chicken pieces down without crowding them and cook about 2-3 minutes on each side. They should turn golden with nice grill lines and be fully cooked inside. You might need to do this in batches.
03 -
Grab a small bowl and combine mayonnaise, sour cream, the finely chopped garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Mix until it's all smooth. Give it a taste and add more seasonings if you want.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Chicken thighs work better than breasts if you want meat that stays juicy on the grill.
02 -
Try plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo and sour cream for a lighter sauce option.
03 -
The fresh lemon juice cuts through the rich sauce and adds a nice zing.
04 -
Don't worry if you lack a grill, a regular skillet works fine for cooking these chicken bites.
05 -
When meal prepping, keep the chicken and sauce in different containers and warm up as needed.
