    Ingredients

    Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 25 min

    • 2 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 ½" chunks

    How to Make Garlic And Rosemary Roasted Chicken Bites

    Preheat your oven to 450°F.

    In a large baking dish, you will mix together the melted cooking fat, garlic, fresh rosemary, and lemon zest. Add salt and black pepper to taste (around 1 teaspoon each). Then, add in the chicken chunks and stir so they are coated well with the fat and seasoning.

      Wow! These chicken bites are amazingly flavorful! I followed the recipe exactly using boneless skinless thighs because that’s what I had on hand. My husband and daughter loved them and I can see this is going to stay in my recipe binder! I am not 100% paleo, but I depend on your recipes for delicious, healthy meals for myself and my family. I made brown and wild rice to go with this, along with sautéed zucchini and carrots.
