Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and oregano until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for crispy results.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown. Halfway through, turn the pieces for even baking.
- Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley over the hot chicken bites before serving for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can customize the seasoning with cumin or chili powder for extra spice.
- Ensure chicken pieces are uniformly sized for even cooking.
- Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for best results.
