Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, use fresh garlic for the most flavorful sauce.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure the chicken browns evenly.
Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
