Description
Tender Grilled Chicken Bites are flavorful and easy to make. These bites are perfect for a quick meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes for optimal flavor. If time allows, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers for easy grilling.
- Place the chicken bites directly on the grill or on the skewers. Grill for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Olive Oil: Can be substituted with avocado oil or vegetable oil.
