Equipment
- Frying pan
- Measuring spoons
- Kitchen knife
- Chopping board
Ingredients
- 750 g chicken breasts, cut into bite-sie
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- 7 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dry basil
Instructions
- Wash the chicken breasts, then cut them into bite sie prices.
- Pat the chicken dry using a paper towel.
- Sprinkle flour, salt, black pepper and basil over the chicken (make sure all the chicken pieces are evenly coated).
- Heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melted, add the chicken pieces in a single layer (if your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to cook the chicken in batches).
- Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then flip on the other side and cook for more 2 minutes.
- Add the garlic and parsley, cook for one more minute, then turn off the heat and serve.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet with the chicken pieces. The overcrowded chicken bites start releasing water which results in steamed chicken rather than crispy bites.
- The secret to super tender and crispy garlic butter chicken bites is to ensure that the pan is hot before adding the chicken bites to the pan.
