Lemon & Garlic Chicken Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed.
- Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Serve these bites with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- You can also skew the chicken on toothpicks for easy serving at parties.
