Instructions

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the marinade is well blended.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let stand for a minimum of 15 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the marinated chicken bites in a single layer. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dipping sauce is smooth and homogeneous.
Arrange the hot chicken bites on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve alongside the Cajun creamy dipping sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
