Recipe tips:
- Cooking time will depend on how large you cut your chicken pieces. I cut mine into 1 inch cubes.
- Dry the chicken before slicing. This will allow the green goddess dressing to better stick to the chicken while it marinades.
- You can marinade the chicken for several hours, but at least 30 minutes.
- You can add any additional seasonings you want to the chicken or marinade.
- I like to top my chicken bites with fresh herbs to really amp up the flavor. This is completely optional.
Instructions:
To make the green goddess chicken bites, simply dry your chicken breasts. Then cut into 1 inch cubes.
To a bowl or ziplock bag, add your chicken, garlic powder, and green goddess dressing. Mix together to make sure green goddess dressing covers every chicken bite. Place in the refrigerator to marinate.
Pull chicken out, and heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken to pan, and cook. After chicken is done cooking, add more green goddess dressing, and salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy on top of a salad, a rice bowl, or just alongside your favorite side dishes. These green goddess chicken bites would pair nicely with coconut oil sweet potatoes, roasted asparagus, melting sweet potatoes, or roasted acorn squash.
