Chicken Bites
These Chicken Bites are tender, juicy bite-sized pieces of seasoned chicken that cook up fast in one pan! They're perfect for busy nights when you want something delicious without a lot of work, plus they're one of the best healthy options compared to fried chicken bites.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1" pieces (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
- In large bowl, toss chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper and oregano until evenly coated.
- Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken pieces in single layer.
- Cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add butter and minced garlic to skillet. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth and lemon juice. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until liquid reduces slightly.
- Add the cooked chicken pieces back into the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Pro Tip: Cook the chicken in a single layer without overcrowding the pan! You may need to cook in batches with smaller skillets. Overcrowding will cause the chicken to steam instead of cooking properly.
