1 lb. chicken boneless chicken thighs (see notes)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Notes

This recipe can also be made with 1 lb. boneless chicken breasts.

To freeze these chicken bites, coat them in the starch and spices then put them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze them then remove them from the baking sheet and put them in a freezer bag. Bake them from frozen and add 5 minutes to the baking time.
