Cooking Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and any additional herbs like parsley and dill to create the marinade. Mix well.
Add the boneless skinless chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure they're well coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours for enhanced flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Tzatziki sauce by grating the cucumber and squeezing out excess moisture. In a separate bowl, mix the grated cucumber with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your grill, stovetop, or oven broiler. If grilling, make certain the grill is preheated to medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and place it on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
Serve the Mediterranean Chicken Bites warm, accompanied by the Tzatziki sauce, and enjoy in wraps or on top of salads. These bites are a great option for a low carb party appetizer, making them perfect for gatherings.
Extra Tips:
When cooking Mediterranean Chicken Bites, feel free to experiment with different marinades or spices to suit your taste preferences.
You can also prepare a larger batch and use leftovers creatively in various dishes like rice bowls or as a protein addition to your salads.
Remember to allow the chicken to rest after cooking for juicier bites, and adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken pieces for best results.
