Ingredients
  

Chicken Bites
  • 453 g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Use boneless, skinless chicken breast for best results.
  • 30 ml olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is recommended for a richer flavor.
  • 15 ml lemon juice Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a zesty kick.
  • 2 tsp garlic powder Adds a deep garlic flavor to the marinade.
  • 1 tsp paprika For a subtle smoky flavor.
  • 1 tsp Salt and pepper Adjust to taste.
Creamy Garlic Sauce
  • 120 g mayonnaise Use full-fat mayonnaise for a creamier sauce.
  • 60 g sour cream Adds tanginess to the sauce.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic gives the sauce its signature flavor.
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Optional garnish for a fresh finish.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Skewers

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using skewers, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers if desired, leaving a little space between each piece.
  4. Place the skewers or chicken pieces directly on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  5. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  6. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the grilled chicken bites with the creamy garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy your delicious grilled chicken bites!
