Description
Grilled Chicken Bites with Creamy Garlic Sauce are a delightful dish that combines tender, juicy chicken with a rich and flavorful sauce. These bite-sized pieces of chicken are marinated in a blend of spices, then grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss until evenly coated and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the Dish: Arrange the grilled chicken bites on a platter and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a healthier option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and sour cream in the sauce.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier flavor.
- Adjust the sauce consistency by adding milk for a thinner sauce or more mayonnaise for a thicker one.
