    Indian-Style Chicken Bites Recipe

    These Indian-spiced chicken bites are flavor-packed finger food at their best. The spicy coconut milk marinade gives them just the right combination of rich texture and heat and quickly slipping them under the broiler after baking browns the edges beautifully.

    They’re great tossed over a salad for a different flavor, chopped up into an omelet, or simply served over a bed of cauliflower rice or roasted vegetables with some hot pickle.

    Indian Style Chicken Bites

    Garam masala might be unfamiliar if you’re not used to cooking with Indian spices, but it’s nothing scary; it’s just a blend you can buy at any grocery store. If you don’t see it with the other spices, check the ethnic foods.

    The recipe is quick enough to make on a weeknight if you put it in to marinate in the morning; just come home, pop it in the oven, and half an hour later, you’ll have your dinner.

    If you have any leftovers, try them as a quick, protein-rich snack to power through the afternoon slump or an easy lunchbox addition: it doesn't get much more convenient than "already bite-sized!"
