For the juiciest chicken bites, avoid overcrowding the skillet while cooking.
This ensures even browning and prevents the chicken from steaming instead of searing. Patting the chicken dry before seasoning also helps achieve a golden crust.
When making the creamy Parmesan sauce, grate the cheese fresh instead of using pre-shredded varieties, which often contain anti-caking agents that can make the sauce grainy.
