Michele says
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.
