Begin by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.

Let it marinate for about 10 minutes while you heat the skillet.

On the stovetop, place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers.

Carefully add the marinated chicken pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer; cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and no longer pink inside.

Once fully cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the freshly chopped parsley, lemon zest, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Allow everything to cook together for an additional minute.

Remove from heat and transfer the cooked Garlic Herbed Chicken Bites to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley.

Serve warm as an appetizer or with salads or crusty bread for a complete meal.
