Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken Bites:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling)

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup mayonnaise

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).

    Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

      Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are white-hot before placing the chicken.

        Skewer the Chicken: If you are using skewers, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto them, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking. If not using skewers, simply place the marinated chicken directly on the grill.

          Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

            Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the grilled chicken bites hot with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping.

              Enjoy: Pair with your favorite side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
