What You Need for Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces. Thighs work great too if you like them juicier.
Seasoning: Salt and pepper — simple, classic, and essential for flavor.
Flour: A light dusting helps the chicken get that beautiful golden sear and slightly crispy edges.
Butter & Garlic: The stars of this dish — freshly chopped garlic makes all the difference!
Oregano: Adds a touch of herby warmth that complements the butter and garlic perfectly.
Water or Broth: Just enough to bring the sauce together and make it silky smooth.

You’ll only need a single pan to bring it all together, and the aroma of garlic butter will fill your kitchen in minutes!

How To Make Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

Cut & Season: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then let rest for 10 minutes so the flavor can absorb.
Coat & Sear: Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook the chicken until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and cover to keep warm.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in a pinch of flour, oregano, and a splash of water or broth, then simmer 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Combine & Finish: Return the chicken bites to pan and stir for 1 min. or cook until the chicken is warmed through and everything is coated with sauce.
Sprinkle with parsley, then serve immediately and enjoy.

That’s it — simple, quick, and incredibly flavorful. You’ll want to make it again and again!

I hope you enjoy this super easy Garlic Butter Chicken, can’t wait to hear what you think!
