Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup chicken broth

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

        Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits for added flavor. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

          Create the Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried Italian herbs. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

            Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken in the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

              Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the garlic butter chicken bites alongside rice, pasta, or vegetables.
