Quick and flavorful garlic butter chicken bites perfect for busy weeknights, ready in just 15 minutes.

1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (Can substitute with boneless skinless chicken thighs for a richer flavor.)

1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour (Can omit for a gluten-free option.)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Mix of oregano, basil, and thyme works well as a substitute.)
to taste Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (Adjust amounts to taste preference.)

2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Can be replaced with another cooking oil.)
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Used in parts for cooking and finishing; use flavored or ghee if desired.)

4 cloves Minced Fresh Garlic (Use garlic powder as an alternative, but adjust quantity for potency.)

Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Dredge chicken pieces in flour, shaking off excess.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in butter until melted and coat chicken.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over chicken, toss to combine, and serve immediately.

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
