Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes without stirring, allowing them to sear.
Flip the chicken pieces and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the chicken bites to a serving plate.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the Chicken Garlic Bites warm as an appetizer or pair them with rice or salad as a main dish. Enjoy!
