Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat Butter: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat to create a flavorful base for cooking the chicken.
  2. Cook Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on the outside and fully cooked through.
  3. Add Garlic and Thyme: Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the flavors meld.
  4. Season and Serve: Season the chicken bites with salt and pepper to your taste, then serve warm for a comforting and quick meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cut into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch.
  • Adjust the amount of thyme based on your preference; fresh thyme can be used as well.
  • Serve with rice, pasta, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
