Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and lemon juice.
- Add the chicken bites to the mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
- Lightly grease the pan with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken bites on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Remove from heat and set aside while preparing the sauce.
Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir well.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Place the grilled chicken bites on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken or serve it as a dipping sauce on the side.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and added freshness.
- Serve immediately with rice, roasted vegetables, or warm bread.
