This recipe is based on a recipe for steak bites, another family favorite. It is easy, quick, and requires few ingredients.
Chicken Bites:
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs-enough to feed your family (I use 1-2 lbs)
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- olive oil, coconut oil, butter or ghee
Cut up your chicken in bite sized pieces. Season to taste with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. My family likes a lot of flavor on these, so I usually use quite a bit of my favorite seasoning on them.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet, making sure not to crowd the pan. A crowded pan will steam the chicken, rather than brown it. I usually do at least two batches, keeping the first batch warm on a foil-covered plate while the second batch cooks.
Cook 3-5 minutes or until browned, then toss to brown the other side. Cook another 3-5 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from skillet and serve with roasted veggies, add to a stir fry, toss with a salad or along side spaghetti squash and tomato sauce.
Refrigerates well to have on hand for lunches through the week.
I love your site. I too believe in the importance of nutrient-dense food for the family, but struggle to come up with creative meals to fix. Looks like your blog solves my biggest obstacle. Thank you, Danielle!
Thanks for stopping by, Teri! Hope your boys (all three of them!) enjoy our recipes.
