Step-by-Step Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
Combine chicken cubes, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated. Let it sit for at least fifteen minutes for best flavor, though you can go up to an hour in the fridge if you have time.
Preheat and Prep the Grill:
Get your grill or grill pan hot over medium heat. Clean the grates well and oil lightly to avoid sticking. Use an outdoor grill or stovetop according to preference.
Grill the Chicken Bites:
Place the marinated chicken cubes on the grill in a single layer. Space them apart so they develop a good sear. Grill each side for two to three minutes. Flip once for even browning. Cook until no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Pull off the heat and rest the bites on a platter.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
While the chicken is grilling, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Combine until totally smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if preferred.
Serve:
Arrange the hot chicken bites on your favorite serving dish. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Finish with a sprinkle of extra parsley if you like the fresh look.
