Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces to ensure quick cooking.
  • Mince the garlic cloves and zest the lemon to maximize flavor.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure all the chicken is coated in the marinade.
  • Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken marinates, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cooking

  • Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to confirm it’s fully cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and transfer it to a serving dish.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Serving

  • Decide whether to serve the Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites over rice, salad, or within wraps.

Storage

  • After allowing the chicken to cool, place it in an airtight container for storage.

For best results, do not overcrowd the skillet during cooking. Adjust the marinade to your taste preferences for customization.
