Looking for a quick dinner or a protein-packed snack that brings bold flavor without the fuss? These Easy Buffalo Garlic Chicken Bites are exactly what you need. Tender chicken breast cubes are pan-seared to perfection, tossed in a spicy buffalo sauce with rich garlic undertones, and served hot—ideal for everything from weeknight meals to game day snacks. Whether you’re after easy dinner ideas, low-carb meal prep, or healthy snack inspiration, this easy recipe covers it all.


Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons buffalo sauce

2 cloves minced garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)

2 cups cooked pasta or celery sticks (for serving)


Instructions

1. Cut chicken breasts into evenly-sized bite-sized pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.

3. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Pour in buffalo sauce and stir to coat. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens slightly.

5. Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of pasta, celery, or dressing.


Notes

Cut the chicken evenly so it cooks uniformly and stays juicy.

Add garlic near the end of cooking to prevent it from burning and turning bitter.

Reheat leftovers in a skillet with a splash of buffalo sauce to keep them moist.
