Equipment
- 1 grill preheated to medium-high
- 1 saucepan
- 1 large bowl
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bites
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil and minced garlic, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken bites on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and grill marks appear.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the garlic and let it simmer for a few minutes until fragrant.
- Once the chicken is grilled, remove it from the heat and toss it in the prepared creamy garlic sauce until well-coated.
Serving
- Garnish the creamy garlic chicken bites with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Storage
- Allow the chicken bites to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
