Ingredients
Chicken Bites
- 1 large chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (salt-free)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Quick Note: You can double this recipe as many times as you'd like.
- Slice the chicken breast into small chunks (bite-sized).
- In a mixing bowl, add chicken, garlic powder, salt, pepper, avocado oil, and lemon juice.
- Optional: You can pause this recipe and let the chicken marinate, covered, in the fridge up to 6 hours. But you don’t have to do this.
- Heat your grill (indoor or outdoor) to medium heat, 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once it’s hot, place the chicken onto the grill, ensure they’re not touching. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. You can figure this out by cutting a piece in half or using a meat thermometer.
- While the chicken is cooking whip up the creamy garlic sauce by adding the butter to a small sauce pan and warming over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Once the butter is melted add in minced garlic, salt, parsley, and half and half.
- Stir to combine and warm on low-medium heat for 4-5 minutes, or until warm.
- Turn heat to low and whisk in grated Parmesan until melted and combined. Take off heat, and set aside until chicken is cooked.
- When chicken is cooked serve it with the garlic sauce poured over top and enjoy!
