Tips: How to Make Chicken Bites

  • What cut of chicken is best? You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. But our favorite is thighs because the flavor is so much more rich and chicken thigh bites are less dry.
  • If you’re cooking with chicken breast, make sure to eat them as soon as they’re cooled. If you let chicken breast sit too long or get cold, they will taste dry and tough.
  • The garlic butter and parmesan add so much flavor. But if you don’t have parmesan you can use any grated cheese that you like. Smoked cheddar, gouda or pepper jack are some good and tasty ideas.
  • Can you add veggies with this! Sure you can, but make sure it’s a veggie that can cook quick at the same time as the chicken. Also, make sure to keep the veggies cut small. Some quick-cook veggies are: celery, bell peppers, small cut broccoli or cauliflower.

  • Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter. When butter is completely melted and sizzling hot, add chicken to pan and spread into a single layer. Leaving space between the chicken as it cooks gives more crispy sides.
