Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  2. Grill the chicken cubes over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Arrange the grilled chicken bites on a platter and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.

Notes

For substitutions, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream or add hot sauce for extra spice. Make the sauce ahead up to a day and store it in the fridge; the flavors meld better over time. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. If your sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little milk or water. Ensure chicken is fully cooked to prevent dryness; keep grill heat consistent to avoid burning.
