INSTRUCTIONS

1. Season: In a bowl, toss the chicken cubes with flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Sear: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. The Sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
5. Combine: Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Return the crispy chicken bites to the pan and toss them in the sauce for 1 minute.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra parmesan. Serve immediately while hot!
