Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites
Report
Easy, zesty Lemon Garlic Chicken Bites make for a healthy high-protein appetizer, snack, or main entrée!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 Tbsp avocado oil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 5 cloves garlic minced (2 Tbsp)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp ground paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 Tbsp ghee or butter for cooking.
Instructions
- Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place it in a zip lock bag. Add the remaining ingredients except for the ghee/butter (avocado oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, paprika, and sea salt). Seal the bag and move everything around until the chicken is well-coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, up to 24 hours.
- When you’re ready to cook, add two tablespoons of ghee or butter to a large skillet and heat over high heat.
- Once the skillet is very hot, add the chicken and spread it into an even layer.
- Cook for 5 minutes without stirring the chicken. This allows much of the liquid to burn off. After 5 minutes, stir the chicken and continue cooking for another 6 to 8 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, or until much of the liquid has burned off and the chicken is golden-brown.
- Note: the chicken will be fully cooked after about 7 or 8 minutes of cooking. You can stop the cooking process at that point, or you can continue cooking to get that nice golden-brown sear.
- Serve the chicken bites with a dipping sauce as an appetizer or with side dishes to serve as a main entrée.
Notes
- Omit the ghee or butter to make the recipe fully dairy-free.
