CHICKEN OPTIONS

You can use chicken breasts or chicken thighs in this recipe. Using boneless, skinless chicken thighs will only make this recipe all the more flavorful. 

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN TACO BITES

You can pretty much serve anything with these, but here are a few of my personal favorites:

  • Rice: any kind of rice will do!  
  • Salad: a green salad is a great choice to pile these chicken bites onto!
  • Beans: a side of hearty and warm black or pinto beans never fails.

GRILLING CHICKEN TACO BITES

You can never go wrong with grilling any sort of chicken. I recommend not dicing the chicken before hand, or they’ll fall right through your grill. Cut them up after they’ve cooked!

  1. Haven’t made these but what’s not to like? Sounds pretty good to me. I just saw a recipe for mexican street corn salad, I’m thinking this would be great with these chicken bites.

  2. 5 stars
    Was super easy and quick to make! I live in a house with 6 adults who are all very picky eaters which usually results in anywhere from 2 to 4 different meals being cooked every night, but this recipe was a hit with everyone.
    Thank you so much for this amazing recipe will definitely be making it again!

    These are my go-to for a quick and easy dinner. We put them on salads and in tacos. Last night we put them over your cilantro lime rice. So tasty!
