Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on all sides.

      Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.

          If using, add the red pepper flakes and halved cherry tomatoes (this step is optional but adds color and flavor). Cook for another 2 minutes.

            Return the chicken bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter mixture. Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken and mix well.

              Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

                Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
