Ingredients
1.5 lbs Chicken Breast (cut into 1-inch uniform cubes)
4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
4 cloves Minced Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped fine)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear.
Season the chicken generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat the olive oil and two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken bites in the pan in a single layer to avoid crowding.
Sear the chicken bites in the pan over medium-high heat until fully cooked and golden brown on all sides.
Add the remaining butter and fresh minced garlic to the skillet.
Sauté the garlic for one minute until fragrant, tossing the chicken to coat thoroughly.
Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
Ensure the skillet reaches full temperature before adding the meat for a proper sear. Keep the chicken pieces consistent in size to guarantee they cook at an even rate. Do not crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary to achieve a perfect golden crust.
