Mastering the Creamy Garlic Sauce

A luscious garlic sauce is essential to this recipe’s success. Start by sautéing freshly minced garlic in butter, letting it bloom without burning. The addition of cream, a touch of stock, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese results in a rich, full-bodied sauce that clings perfectly to the chicken.

For smooth dicing and efficient prep, a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes it a breeze to mince garlic and onions in seconds.

Perfectly Grilled Chicken Bites

Cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces ensures rapid, even cooking and maximum flavor absorption. Toss the chicken in olive oil with simple seasonings before grilling for that golden char.

If you’re pressed for time, consider using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt to quickly achieve perfectly browned, juicy chicken pieces with minimal fuss.

Assembling and Serving Suggestions

Once your chicken bites are cooked and your creamy garlic sauce is perfectly whisked, simply toss them together. Let the sauce gently simmer so the flavors meld.

For go-anywhere leftovers or meal prep, portion the saucy chicken bites into a Bentgo Salad Container so you can enjoy this tasty meal on the move—portion control and freshness in one.

Serve your chicken and sauce over al dente pasta, fluffy rice, or alongside roasted veggies. For a splash of color and flavor, top with chopped parsley or chives.
