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. 🔥
