Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine chicken, flour, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden.
Flip pieces and cook another 2 minutes.
Add remaining butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Cook for 1 more minute, stirring to coat the chicken.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed for the best crispy edges.
Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier variation.
Add red pepper flakes for a little heat if desired.
Serve over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or in wraps for easy meal ideas.
