Ingredients To Make Garlic Butter Chicken Bites
Chicken breasts – skin-less + bone-less. You can use bone-in pieces too – cut them up in bite size pieces.
Seasonings – Garlic powder, onion powder and all-purpose seasoning.
Herbes de provence – you can also use mixed herbs or Italian seasoning.
Smoked paprika – regular paprika works too.
Red pepper flakes for a mild spicy kick- you can also use your favorite hot chile pepper or hot sauce or just leave it out completely,
Fresh cracked pepper – I recommend fresh cracked black pepper over anything sitting in a bottle. You’ll taste the difference.
Pink Himalyan salt – or your choice of salt. The salt will round out all the flavors and make them pop.
Spices –Caribbean green seasoning this adds a another layer of flavor,
Fresh garlic cloves – Use fresh garlic cloves, you can also use dehydrtated garlic in a pinch.
Other – Extra virgin oil – drizzled over the raw meat when seasoning. You can also you the same vegetable oil you use for searing.
Vegetable oil – Use a neutral flavor oil (flavorless) with a high smoke point.
Butter (salted or unsalted) I recommend using real butter whenever possible. Margarine is made of vegetable oil and butter is made from fresh cream. It’s highly processed and contains less nutritional value than butter. The flavor is unmatched.
You can also use Ghee as a low-lactose option. Margarine should be your absolute last resort (in my opinion). If you’re using salted butter – adjust the salt in the marinade to reduce your sodium intake.
