Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Heat the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and bubbling, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to stir occasionally for even cooking.

        Finish and Garnish: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and presentation.

          Serve: Serve the garlic butter chicken bites hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
