Garlic Butter Chicken Bites – chicken stirfry easy recipe

Dinner in 15? Let’s go. 💪 These garlic butter chicken bites are for those nights when you’re tired, hungry, and considering just eating cereal on the couch (no judgment, I’ve been there). But hey, you’ve got 15 minutes. That’s faster than your favorite food delivery app can disappoint you. 😅 All you need is one pan, some chicken, a bit of garlic, and the will to resist snacking before it’s done. The outside gets golden, the inside stays juicy, and the garlic butter? Ohhh, it hugs every bite like it means it. No marinating. No prep that involves crying over onions. Just quick, real food that tastes like you *definitely* tried. Trust me, once you make these, they’ll be on rotation. I like to toss them over rice, but they’re just as happy in a wrap, on a salad, or straight off the fork while you pretend you’re ‘just tasting.’ 🍴
