Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
Seasoning and Oil
- 2 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into 1-2 inch chunks. Place them in a container with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning. Stir well to coat all pieces with the seasoning. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to marinate and absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over high heat until hot. Add the chicken pieces in a single flat layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust.
- Finish Cooking: Flip the chicken pieces over and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the chicken bites from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite sides. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy chicken bites!
Notes
- Ensure chicken pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
- Homemade ranch seasoning can be substituted with store-bought if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, you can finish the chicken under a broiler for 1-2 minutes after stovetop cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
