The Secret to a Party-Worthy Dish
When it comes to party food, there are a few key factors to consider: it should be easy to eat (no messy, complicated dishes), it should wow the crowd with its flavors, and it should be versatile enough to please a variety of tastes.
This dish checks all those boxes and then some! Here’s how I created the perfect recipe that was a complete hit at the party.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 lb of boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (or green onions)
- 1 cup crispy bacon bits (optional but highly recommended for extra flavor)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Toothpicks or skewers (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Start by seasoning the bite-sized pieces of chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Make the Creamy Sauce:
In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and cheddar cheese until smooth. This creates the creamy base that will coat the chicken, adding both richness and a tangy, cheesy flavor. Stir in the chopped chives for a touch of freshness.
3. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Once the chicken has cooled slightly, toss the cooked chicken pieces in the creamy sauce mixture. Make sure each piece is fully coated with the sauce. For an extra layer of flavor, stir in the crispy bacon bits (if you’re using them). This is optional, but trust me, bacon adds a delightful crunch and smoky flavor that everyone will love!
4. Assemble the Dish:
Using toothpicks or small skewers, skewer each piece of chicken and serve them as individual bite-sized pieces. If you don’t want to use skewers, you can also arrange the sauced chicken pieces on a platter.
