Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well-coated.

    Heat the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbling.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden crust.

        Add Garlic: Once the chicken is browned, give it a stir and add the minced garlic. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.

          Sauté and Glaze: Once the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F/75°C), allow the garlic to become fragrant, cooking for an additional minute to glaze the chicken in the buttery garlic sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
