Notes
Tips:
-
- Cut the chicken with kitchen shears or use a knife and a plastic cutting board.
- To make this as quickly as possible, I recommend using chicken tenders. Since they are already so small, it takes almost no time to cut them into cubes.
- For more flavor, let the chicken marinate in the greek dressing for 20-60 minutes.
- To get a golden crust on the chicken, let it cook for 5 minutes in a hot pan before moving the chicken around (once it’s all in a single layer).
- If you don’t have greek dressing on hand, make your own or use Italian dressing.
- Fridge: Store leftover Greek chicken bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
- Freezer: Freeze in a freezer safe bag or container up to 2 months. Defrost fully before reheating.
