A night at home with your closest friends
doesn’t have to mean pizza, a greasy chicken bucket or potato chips.
Spicy chicken bites or a batch of soft potato wedges are a breath of
finger-licking-good fresh air.
cajun chicken bites
1 lb boneless chicken breast
1 Tbsp fresh thyme (1/2 Tbsp dried thyme)
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp white pepper or cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp corn starch
˝ cube (1/4 cup) of butter
Serves 2-3
1 Cut the chicken
breasts into 1 inch squares or ‘bites’ and mix them with the soy sauce
and corn starch in a large bowl. Set in the refrigerator for 30 min.
2 Melt the
butter in a sauce pan on the stove. Mix in the pepper, cayenne pepper
(or white pepper), garlic powder and thyme to create a paste.
3 Retrieve the
chicken from the refrigerator and brown them in a skillet with the oil.
Once they are browned, pour and mix in the Cajun paste. Continue
stirring until the chicken bites are cooked through. Serve with
toasted flat bread.
