Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

3. Grill the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers or place directly on the grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.

4. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is grilling, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant.

5. Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

6. Combine and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
