Chili Lime Chicken Bites
These Chili Lime Chicken Bites are full of flavor and come together quickly for easy weeknight meal possibilities!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- the zest from one lime, (around 2 - 2 ½ teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite-sized pieces
Instructions
- In a small dish, stir together all the seasonings: chili powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, sugar, and cayenne. Add the lime zest and stir until combined.
- Place the cut up chicken pieces into a gallon zip-seal plastic bag or a mixing bowl. Add the spice mix to the chicken pieces. Seal the bag and shake/massage the contents OR stir the contents of the bowl until the chicken pieces are coated with the spices.
- Add the oil to a large sauté pan/walled skillet and bring over med-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces (you don’t want to overcrowd the pan, so depending on the size of your skillet you may want to work in two batches instead of one) and stir to break them up and coat them in the oil. Cook the chicken for 5-8 minutes, stirring every couple minutes (you don’t want to stir super frequently because the chicken needs time to brown on each side). Once the chicken is cooked through and browned on the outside, remove from heat and serve.
