Ingredients:
– 500 grams of chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Juice of 1 large lemon
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or fresh if available)
– 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
### Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
– In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
– Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well to ensure all the chicken is coated in the marinade.
– Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
2. Cook the Chicken:
– Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. You can add a little more olive oil if needed.
– Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to do this in batches.
– Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
3. Serve:
– Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate.
– Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
– Serve hot, and enjoy your lemon and garlic chicken bites with your favorite side dish!
### Tips:
– You can serve these chicken bites with a side of rice, salad, or even in a wrap.
– Feel free to adjust the seasoning and add other herbs according to your taste.
