1 tsp garlic powder Enhances the savory flavors.

1 tsp paprika Infuses a warm, smoky flavor.
to taste salt and pepper Essential for amplifying flavors.

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise Forms the base of the sauce.
2 tbsp Greek yogurt Adds tangy flavor.

1 tbsp lemon juice Brightens the dish.
to taste salt and pepper For seasoning.

For Garnish

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Adds a pop of color.

Instructions

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bite-size chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken thoroughly until each piece is well-coated in the flavorful mixture.
Set your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring that it is nicely heated before adding the chicken.
Optional: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers for easier grilling and fun presentation.

Grilling

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and has beautiful, lightly charred grill marks.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sauce by combining mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well-blended.

Serving

Once grilled to perfection, allow the chicken to rest briefly before serving. Serve warm grilled chicken bites with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled over or on the side, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For even more flavor, consider marinating the chicken for a couple of hours or overnight. Keep a close eye on your chicken while grilling to avoid overcooking.
