Greek Chicken Bites
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 3/4 cup chicken broth cut into 1.5 inch cubes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- lemon juice
Marinade
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 5 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients except the olive oil. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until everything is well blended and smooth.
- Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours. When ready, remove the chicken from the marinade, pat it dry, and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer—work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until beautifully seared, then flip and cook for another minute. Transfer the chicken to a plate (it won’t be fully cooked yet—that’s okay!).
- In the same pan, add the garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to scrape up any flavorful bits from the bottom. Let the broth simmer until it reduces by half.
- Return the chicken to the pan and stir occasionally until the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is cooked through. Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. Give everything a quick toss, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- These Greek chicken bites are perfect for meal prep! Make a big batch and freeze them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to two months.
- For shorter storage, keep any leftovers in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh for up to three days.
- To reheat: Warm them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of broth to keep them juicy, or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. Enjoy!
