Ingredients

  • 1 pound 450g chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant chicken stock optional (lower the salt amount if using)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • To make the oven-baked chicken bites: Preheat your oven to 420°F (220ºC) conventional. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.
  • In a small bowl, combine all seasonings. Arrange chicken in a baking dish and sprinkle with the seasoning mix. Drizzle a tablespoon olive oil and toss chicken cubes with the seasoning to coat on all sides. Speck seasoned chicken with butter cubes.
  • Bake seasoned chicken in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer. After 8-10 minutes, stir the chicken bites with a spoon for even baking. Once done, the chicken bites should be golden with crisp edges. For crispier chicken bites, switch to broil on high for the last 2 minutes of cooking until golden.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven, sprinkle chicken with fresh chopped parsley and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the oven-baked chicken bites over cauliflower rice with a good drizzle of the pan juices and a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
