Paleo Whole30 Garlic Butter Chicken Bites

An extremely simple, light, and tasty meal! All made in one pot and the only ingredients are chicken, zucchini noodles, ghee, salt, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and either garlic or garlic oil. I tripled the recipe below and actually did the chicken in three batches, then dumped a ton of zucchini noodles in a large pot to cook. Paired this with some rice noodles this week since the store was out of my favorite sweet potato glass noodles. There is a ton of flavor in the chicken and zucchini noodles, but not quite enough to cover the serving of rice noodles I added in there. We still really loved this meal though! Just next time would probably toss the added noodles in with the sauce too. This was a quick and tasty recipe to whip up that I will for sure be making again! 

​Paleo Whole30 Garlic Butter Chicken Bites
Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons garlic oil
• 1/4 cup ghee
• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken, cut into bite size pieces
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 lemon juiced

Directions:

1. Add the garlic oil and ghee to a large skillet and heat to medium/high heat. Add the chicken and sprinkle with salt and Italian seasoning and cook 5-10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. 
2. Push the chicken to one side of the pan and add the zucchini noodles. Cook 3-5 minutes, until soft but not mushy. 
3. Squeeze the lemon over the whole dish, turn off the heat and serve. 

Notes:

• If you don't need this low FODMAP then use all ghee and 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 
• You can use butter flavored coconut oil if you don't tolerate ghee
