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 lime juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 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 (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and add to the skillet in a single layer.
- Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.
- Serve the chicken bites warm, garnished with chopped peanuts and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced fresh jalapeños to the marinade or serve alongside.
- Substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
