  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional for heat) Optional for those who prefer some heat

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix until all the pieces are coated evenly with the marinade.
Resting Time
  1. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
  3. Let the chicken sear for about 6-8 minutes without stirring, flipping the pieces to ensure they are golden brown on all sides.
Finishing Touch
  1. Once the chicken is cooked through and golden, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving
  1. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
