My Grandma’s Oven-Baked Chicken Bites Recipe

It’s quick, delicious, and easy. This is the perfect solution for weeknights.

I tend to choose boneless, skinless chicken for my main course when I’m rushing to make dinner or lack culinary creativity. This is a common habit that I believe I am not alone in. There are many ways to make it, and they are all quick and simple. The oven-baked chicken recipe is both fast and delicious. It bakes quickly because the chicken is small. However, the buttery seasoned coating makes it super tasty. This is a great protein choice that can be used any night of the week.
