Instructions
Marinate the Chicken

- Allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes for maximum flavor infusion.
Grill to Perfection
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lay the marinated chicken bites on the grill.
- Grill for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure evenly cooked, juicy pieces.
Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of salt.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once the chicken is grilled, serve it immediately, either drizzling the creamy garlic sauce on top or providing it on the side for dipping.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, let the chicken marinate for up to an hour or overnight. You can substitute chicken with shrimp or firm tofu. Using skewers can make grilling easier.
