Notes
- Nutrition facts do not include rice.
- Use lean chicken breasts. If you prefer using boneless thighs that will work as well.
- Switch out the protein, try shrimp or salmon bites.
- Oil: use any oil you have available.
- For those that don't like cilantro, use parsley.
- Serve these chicken bites with roasted veggies, rice, quinoa, pasta, or potatoes.
- Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They work well for those who meal prep.
