Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites

Prep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 12–15 minutesServings: 4

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Optional: red pepper flakes for a little heat

Directions

1. Prepare the ChickenCut the chicken breasts into approximately 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Try to keep them similar in size so everything cooks evenly.

2. Season the ChickenPlace the chicken in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Preheat the BlackstonePreheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.

4. Get That SearSpread the chicken bites across the hot griddle in a single layer, leaving a little room between the pieces.

Let them cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes before flipping. That first contact with the griddle is where you develop those beautiful browned edges.

5. Finish CookingContinue cooking and tossing the chicken for another 5–7 minutes, or until browned on all sides and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

6. Make the Garlic ButterReduce one section of the Blackstone to low heat. Add the butter and minced garlic.

Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Don't let it burn.

7. Bring It TogetherMove the cooked chicken into the garlic butter and toss everything together directly on the griddle.

Sprinkle the Parmesan over the chicken and continue tossing until every piece is coated in that buttery, garlicky Parmesan goodness.

8. ServeRemove from the Blackstone and finish with fresh parsley, additional Parmesan, and red pepper flakes if you want some heat.

Serve immediately!

🔥 Bright Spots Pro Tip

Don't crowd your chicken!

Give those chicken bites some breathing room on the Blackstone. If they're packed too closely together, they'll steam instead of developing that beautiful griddled crust.

Spread them out. Let them sear. Then start tossing. 🔥

Garlic. Butter. Parmesan. Chicken.

I’m not sure we need much more convincing than that. 😂🔥

One of my favorite things about the Blackstone is taking really simple ingredients and using that big hot cooking surface to turn them into something pretty incredible.

These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites are exactly that.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, hit them with a simple seasoning blend, and let the Blackstone put that beautiful crust around the outside while keeping everything juicy inside.

But we’re not stopping there.

Once that chicken is cooked, we’re bringing in melted butter and fresh garlic right on the griddle. Toss the chicken through that garlic butter and finish everything with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese.

Now we’ve got something. 🔥

Serve these straight off the griddle as an appetizer, pile them over rice, toss them into pasta, throw them into a wrap, or pair them with some griddled vegetables for an easy dinner.

They’re simple, versatile, and packed with flavor—which is exactly the kind of recipe I love making on the Blackstone.

And if a few disappear directly off the griddle before they ever make it to the plate?

That’s just quality control. 😂

Until the next one… we’ll see ya! 🔥
