Garlic Chicken Bites (Printable Version)

Plump grilled chicken bites get dunked in thick, zesty garlic sauce. You’ll want another dip every single bite.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Creamy Garlic Sauce

01 - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
02 - 1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley
03 - 100 ml mayonnaise
04 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
05 - 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
06 - 100 ml sour cream

→ Grilled Chicken Bites

07 - 700 g chicken breast, skinless, boneless, sliced into 2 cm chunks
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
09 - 1 teaspoon paprika
10 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
11 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
12 - 1 teaspoon salt
13 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
14 - 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Serve those grilled chicken chunks on a platter. Either dunk them in the creamy sauce on the side, or go for it and drizzle the sauce over. Want extra color? Scatter more parsley if you feel fancy.
02 - Let the grill do its thing while you place chicken pieces spaced out. Cook for about 7 minutes, then flip. Wait another 7 minutes. They’re good when the inside reaches 74°C, so give them a quick check.
03 - Mix sour cream, mayo, and cream first in a fresh bowl. Drop in lemon juice and all the chopped parsley along with the minced garlic. Stir till you get a smooth, creamy dip.
04 - After seasoning, just set the chicken aside for a little while so the flavors chill and blend.
05 - Pour olive oil all over your chicken in a bowl. Toss it to coat. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Toss again so each chunk gets well coated.
06 - Cut chicken breasts into 2 cm pieces to get nice, bite-sized nuggets.
07 - Crank up your grill to medium-high. Wait till it’s good and hot before starting.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - If you’ve got a half hour, let the seasoned chicken hang out to soak up flavor. Store extra sauce in the fridge; it'll stay fresh for up to three days.
02 - Chopping all your chicken into equal sizes means everything cooks together.
03 - Love smokiness? Add in smoked paprika for extra depth.
04 - If you like things fiery, pile on more cayenne or tip some hot sauce into the creamy side.
