Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 lemons, juiced and zested
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
2. Let It Sit: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. For maximum flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.
3. Heat Pan: In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Check Doneness: Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken bites for a vibrant touch.
7. Serve: Transfer the Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites to a serving dish, allowing the tantalizing aroma to fill the room.

These straightforward steps ensure that your meal is not only incredibly flavorful but also hassle-free.
