Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Mushrooms
Garlic Butter Chicken Bites combine juicy chicken thighs, mushrooms, bell peppers, fresh garlic, butter, and simple spices in a one-skillet meal that’s ready in 30 minutes.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cubed
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
- ⅓ cup green bell pepper cubed
- ⅓ cup red bell pepper cubed
- parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken, then transfer it to a plate.
- Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt. Stir in the garlic and bell peppers and sauté for about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Add the chicken and any accumulated juices back to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the excess moisture has evaporated.
- Garnish the mushroom chicken bites with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Keep the chicken in a single layer to give each piece enough contact with the hot pan for browning. Cook the chicken in two batches if needed.
