This creamy garlic chicken bites recipe is one of my favorite dishes to make. It is also great to take to the office because it still tastes good after reheating in the microwave. The ingredients are simple and easy to change to your liking. If you do not like strong garlic or too much chili, you can use less, or add more if you like stronger flavors.
What I also like about this dish is how nicely everything comes together. If I have extra potatoes left, I pour some of the creamy sauce over them. The potatoes soak up the flavor and taste really good. This recipe is simple, filling, and perfect for anyone who likes a rich and creamy meal with easy-to-find ingredients.

Creamy garlic chicken bites with potatoes
Ingredients
Chicken
- 600 g chicken breast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.75 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp chili
- 3 garlic cloves
Potatoes
- 600 g potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp potato spices
Sauce
- 20 g butter or olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp tomato sauce (or 1 tsp of tomato paste)
- 150 ml chicken stock
- 100 g cream cheese
Instructions
- Clean the potatoes, peel them, and cut each one into 4 or 6 pieces depending on the size. Try to keep the pieces as similar in size as possible. Place the potatoes in a bowl, add the spices and olive oil, and mix well.
- Cook the potatoes in an air fryer at 200°C for 20 minutes, turning them after 15 minutes. You can also bake them in the oven at 200°C for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into small cubes, about 1 cm in size. Add the spices, olive oil, and crushed garlic, then mix to coat the chicken evenly.
- Heat a pan over slightly higher than medium heat and cook the chicken until it becomes golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes in a skillet. Once done, transfer the chicken to a bowl.
- Dice the onion into small pieces.
- In the same pan, add butter or olive oil along with the onion. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the onion begins to turn golden. Add the crushed garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock, mix again, and then add the cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has completely melted. Once it melts, let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the cooked chicken back into the pan.
- Let everything simmer together for another 2 to 4 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Serve the chicken with the potatoes and enjoy.
