- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Prep the Chicken – In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss to coat evenly.
- Grill the Chicken – Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken cubes for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.

- Serve – Arrange the grilled chicken bites on a platter and drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
