Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
½ Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
½ Teaspoon Thyme
½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
¼ Teaspoon Pepper
2-3 Pounds Chicken Breasts or Tenders Fresh or Thawed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 Degrees and line a cookie sheet with foil.
Cut your chicken into small cubes and place in a medium sized bowl.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
If possible, let marinate in the fridge for a couple hours. When ready to bake spread the chicken bites evenly on top of your foil layer and bake for 13-15 minutes until just about done. Switch oven to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes until chicken cubes are golden brown. Enjoy!

Notes

Can this recipe be made as Kabobs?

Absolutely. If using wooden skewers just soak them in water for 20 minutes before threading on the chicken to avoid burning. You can also cover exposed ends with foil.

Can you grill the chicken instead of Bake it?

Yes. Whether out on the grill or using a George Foreman these work wonderfully with the grill. They taste similar to the Chick Fil A grilled nuggets when cooked that way.

What if you don't have time to marinate?

No worries. I have skipped this step many times and while I prefer to marinate for a few hours, baking immediately still yields delicious results.

Are all the seasonings mandatory?

The seasonings listed in the recipe pair really well together to create a delicious and versatile flavor. That being said, if you are out of one it is not the end of the world and the recipe can be adapted.
