2 tablespoons heavy cream

3 cloves garlic, minced
13 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
14 -
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
02 -
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces approximately 2 cm each.
03 -
Place the chicken pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper over the pieces. Toss again to ensure even seasoning throughout.
04 -
Set the seasoned chicken aside for at least 5 minutes to allow flavors to absorb.
05 -
In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and heavy cream. Add minced garlic and mix thoroughly. Pour in lemon juice and blend until smooth. Fold in chopped fresh parsley.
06 -
Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on the preheated grill, spacing them evenly for uniform cooking. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and reaching an internal temperature of 74°C.
07 -
Transfer the grilled chicken bites to a serving plate. Serve with the creamy garlic sauce either for dipping or drizzled over the top. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken up to 30 minutes prior to grilling. The sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
02 -
Uniform chicken piece size ensures even cooking and juiciness.
03 -
A pinch of smoked paprika enhances the smoky profile of the dish.
04 -
Increase cayenne or add hot sauce to the creamy garlic sauce for greater heat.
