Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces Ensure the chicken is cut uniformly for even cooking.
1/4 cup pure maple syrup Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
2-3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce Adjust according to your spice preference.
2 tablespoons soy sauce For added umami flavor.
2 cloves garlic, minced Freshly minced garlic recommended.
1 lime Juice of 1 lime Provides a zesty kick.
1 tablespoon olive oil To prevent sticking on the grill.
to taste salt and pepper Season according to preference.
as needed chopped scallions and sesame seeds For garnish, optional.

Method

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally a few hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling

Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Once the grill is hot, toss the marinated chicken bites onto the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Serving

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

These chicken bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Portion control is recommended for grab-and-go meals.
