Creating your own Garlic Butter Chicken Bites is simple! Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to foam slightly without browning.
