Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
