Easy Chicken Bites Recipe in 15 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Pat the 680g of cubed chicken completely dry with paper towels. Note: Any surface moisture will turn to steam and ruin your crunch.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 15ml cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Toss the chicken in the spice mix until every piece is evenly coated and no damp spots remain.
4. Shake off any excess starch; we want a veil, not a thick crust.
5. Heat 30ml avocado oil in your skillet over medium high heat until the oil shimmers and a tiny wisp of smoke appears.
6. Place the chicken in the pan in a single layer, leaving space between pieces.
7. Sear for 2-3 minutes without moving them until a deep golden brown crust forms on the bottom.
8. Flip the pieces and cook for another 2 minutes until the chicken is opaque throughout and firm to the touch.
9. Reduce the heat to medium and add the 2 minced garlic cloves, stirring for 30 seconds until the aroma fills the kitchen.
10. Pour in the 60ml heavy cream and 5ml lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the flavorful brown bits.
11. Simmer for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken bites like a velvety blanket.
12. Remove from heat immediately and garnish with 15ml chopped parsley before serving.
