Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, around 1-inch.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dried oregano, dried basil, sweet paprika, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in this mixture until they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and unsalted butter, allowing them to melt.
  4. Add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes without moving them, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Lower the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, minced garlic, and fresh parsley to the skillet. Stir gently for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Transfer the garlic butter chicken bites to a serving dish and serve immediately alongside your favorite sides.
