Easy Baked Chicken Bites
These quick chicken bites are the perfect solution for a busy weeknight dinner.
recipesbynani.comBaked chicken bites are a favorite in my kitchen because they are so simple to pull together. You just season the meat and pop it in the oven for a healthy meal that everyone will actually eat.
My best tip for this recipe is to make sure your chicken pieces are all cut to about the same size. This ensures they finish cooking at the same time so you do not end up with any dry or undercooked pieces.
