baked chicken bites just out of the oven on a sheet panThey remind me of a copycat Chick-Fil-A grilled nugget, only they are baked not grilled. You could absolutely grill them as well– but I usually just stick them in the oven because they are so yummy that way and its more convenient for me.

Let me show you how simple these really are. When it comes to baked chicken seasoning is key. The simple mix of spices here really is culinary perfection, and you probably already have them all on hand.

Top Left – Using fresh or thawed chicken breasts or tenders, cut your meat into small chunks in a medium sized bowl.

Top Right – Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and Italian seasoning to your chicken cubes.

Bottom Left – Mix to combine, and marinate in the fridge for a few hours. If in a time crunch you can skip the fridge step, and they will still be delicious.

Bottom Right – Spread marinated chicken bites out onto a foil covered baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, or until almost cooked through. Turn over to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

See what I mean? Only one dirty bowl and five minutes prep and you are going to have a new favorite on your hands. Here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions, or you can scroll down to see a video tutorial below.

Can you grill the chicken instead of Bake it?

Yes. Whether out on the grill or using a George Foreman these work wonderfully with the grill. They taste similar to the Chick-Fil-A grilled nuggets when cooked that way.

What if you don’t have time to marinate?

No worries. I have skipped this step many times and while I prefer to marinate for a few hours, baking immediately still yields delicious results.
