@brokeandbutter: Garlic butter chicken bites for three fifty 🧈 Five ingredients, one pan, fifteen minutes. Everything already in your kitchen. INGREDIENTS (serves 1-2, ~$3.50 total) • 10oz chicken breast, diced into bite-size pieces • 3 tbsp butter • 4 cloves garlic, minced • Fresh parsley, chopped • 1/2 lemon • Salt, pepper, 1 tbsp oil STEPS 1. Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a hot oiled pan 5-6 min, turning occasionally, until deeply golden on all sides 2. Lower the heat, push the chicken to one side, and add the butter and minced garlic to the pan 3. Let the butter melt and foam, swirling the garlic through it for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned 4. Toss the chicken through the garlic butter until fully coated 5. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh parsley TIPS • Pat the chicken completely dry before it hits the pan — wet chicken steams instead of searing and you lose the golden crust • Add the garlic after the chicken, not before — raw garlic burns fast in a hot pan and turns bitter if it goes in too early • Don't let the butter brown before tossing the chicken through — pull it off heat right as it foams for the cleanest garlic flavor • No fresh parsley? A pinch of dried works, or skip it — the lemon at the end does most of the brightening anyway Follow for more 🧈 #garlicbutterchicken #budgetdinnerideas #cheapeats #pantrymeal #EasyRecipes #fyp #FoodTok
