Description
Delicious Thai Chicken Bites marinated in a flavorful sauce and cooked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and add the chicken to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Thai chicken bites warm, garnished with chopped peanuts if desired, and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.
- Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
