To make Lemon Herb Chicken Bites, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
To prepare the marinade, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
When you are ready to cook the chicken bites, preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Arrange the chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
Bake the chicken bites for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
