Spicy Cajun Butter Chicken Bites Juicy & Flavor-Packed!
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning store-bought or homemade
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions:
In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to the skillet and swirl until melted. Stir the chicken into the butter to fully coat.
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken, stir well, and cook for 1 more minute to bring the flavors together.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot!
