  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform grilling. In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the seasoning mixture until fully coated.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken bites on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Transfer the grilled chicken bites to a serving dish and pour the warm creamy garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for added color and flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the best taste.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful bites, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Serve with crunchy vegetable sticks, pita chips, or over a bed of salads or pasta.
