Garlic Chicken Bites Ingredients

Chicken. I think this one is a given, considering how many times we established the recipe is about black pepper garlic chicken bites and not just any other bites. You can use chicken breast or boneless skinless chicken thighs for more flavor. I did the breast.

Black Pepper and Salt. Few savory dishes go without the classic combo – black pepper and salt. This one isn’t one of them, but the main hero, the pepper, has a special place. It gives that special spicy kick and helps your digestion and even weight loss.

Garlic. Another flavor creator is garlic. We’re not using too much to overwhelm the dish, just the right amount to enhance the taste.

Onion. The onion is optional, but if you have some to use up – throw it in there for even more flavor.

Olive oil. I used olive oil, but avocado oil or even coconut oil can be used as well.

How To Make Black Pepper Garlic Chicken Bites

Here’s your to-do list to make this stovetop chicken bites recipe:

Mince garlic and cut the onion thinly, if you’ve decided to use one.

Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and make sure to wash everything properly after.

Combine the chicken, ground black pepper, salt, and garlic in a bowl. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Spray a pan with oil, add the chicken, and cook at medium-high temperature. Begin to stir when the chicken starts cooking.

Reduce the heat to medium and flip the chicken bites.

Now is the time to add the onion (if using). 

Stir occasionally for the next 3-4 more minutes or until the chicken is done.

Enjoy immediately!

How To Store This Easy Chicken Recipe

Once the chicken bites have cooled off completely, put them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days.

How To Serve

Add them to salads, bowls, or wraps and serve with salads, rice, potatoes or dips like hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, guacamole or red pepper dip. I bet whatever you’re thinking of including them in will work, they’re super versatile!
