Step 1

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and, if needed, pat them dry with paper towel.

Step 2

In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together cornstarch and salt, then gently toss chicken pieces in mixture until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once oil is hot and shimmering, add chicken pieces and cook without touching for 4 minutes. Flip chicken pieces one by one, then cook until temperature of chicken pieces reaches 165 degrees F, about another 3-5 minutes, stirring around occasionally to cook all sides. (There may be grease splatter, so I would suggest using a splatter guard while chicken cooks and being careful while flipping the chicken.)

Step 4

: Remove chicken bites from pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

Melt butter in microwave or in small pan or pot on stovetop. Sprinkle spices in and stir until combined.

Step 6

Toss chicken bites in garlic butter until coated evenly.

Step 7

Garnish chicken bites with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and parsley, then serve.
