Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ cup chicken broth optional
- Chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, basil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add chicken pieces, and gently toss until evenly coated.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the coated chicken pieces and cook, undisturbed for 5 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip the chicken pieces, and cook for 3-4 more minutes, or until browned on the other side and pieces are cooked through..
- Add the butter to the skillet and stir to combine with the chicken. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a serving plate.
- If you want to make a quick sauce, add the chicken broth to the skillet, bring to a boil and then scrape up the browned bits from the pan while stirring constantly. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then pour over the chicken.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Storage Instructions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.

Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the chicken bites are frozen solid, then transfer the bites into a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
