Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil for that rich, aromatic flavor
- 1 tsp garlic powder adds a warm, garlicky note
- 1 tsp onion powder introduces a subtle sweetness
- 1 tsp paprika provides a smoky complexity
- Salt and pepper, to taste essential for seasoning
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise adds a luscious creaminess
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt enhances the sauce with tanginess
- 2 cloves garlic, minced brings bold flavor
- 1 tbsp lemon juice balancing the creaminess with brightness
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium-sized bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure every piece is thoroughly coated in the seasoning.
- While you prepare the chicken, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- If you prefer, thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
Cooking
- Place the chicken on the grill, cooking for about 8–10 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally.
- While the chicken is grilling, mix the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred, remove it from the grill and let it rest briefly.
Serving
- Serve the warm chicken bites with the creamy garlic sauce on the side or drizzled over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes or even overnight. If you don't have access to a grill, you can cook the chicken bites in a grill pan or bake them in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes. Use organic chicken for better flavor.
