Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the Chicken Bites:
500 g boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
For the Creamy Mustard Sauce:
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and thyme/rosemary.
Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for 5–10 minutes (optional for extra flavor).
Preheat the Grill or Pan:
Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
Lightly grease the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the Chicken Bites:
Place the chicken pieces on the grill or pan in a single layer.
Cook for about 4–6 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Prepare the Mustard Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
If desired, thin the sauce with a teaspoon of water or milk.
Serve:
Arrange the grilled chicken bites on a serving platter. Drizzle with the creamy mustard sauce or serve it on the side as a dip.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Tips:
For Juicier Chicken: Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
For Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning or a splash of white wine vinegar to the mustard sauce.
Make It Ahead: The mustard sauce can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serving Ideas: Pair with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or quinoa for a complete meal.
