Print Recipe

These oven-baked chicken bites are juicy, flavorful, and super easy to make! Perfect for meal prep, snacks, or a quick dinner, they’re seasoned with a zesty, herby spice mix and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  •  1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  •  1 tsp onion powder
  •  1 tsp smoked paprika
  •  1 tsp dried oregano
  •  1 tsp salt
  •  ½ tsp black pepper
  •  1 lemon, juiced and zested
  •  Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2️⃣ Make the seasoning mix: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.

3️⃣ Coat the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.

4️⃣ Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the chicken bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

5️⃣ Bake to perfection: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a light golden-brown color.

6️⃣ Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, let the chicken cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zesty touch.

Notes

  • Serving Ideas: These chicken bites pair well with rice, roasted veggies, or a light salad. You can also serve them with your favorite dipping sauce!
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
  • Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for some heat!
