- In a large 1-gallon freezer bag, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Seal the bag tightly and shake it vigorously until the ingredients are well blended.
- Add the bite-sized pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the seasoned flour mixture in the bag. Reseal the bag and give it another good shake until all the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley. Whisk them together until fully blended.
