Calories: 150kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 1 1/2 Tbsp 24g Olive Oil, divided
For the Buffalo Seasoning*
- 1/2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Dry Mustard
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and fully coat in 1 Tbsp (16g) of olive oil.
- Mix the spices together and add to the chicken. Stir to evenly coat the chicken.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the remaining 1/2 Tbsp (8g) of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and evenly spread it around the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest a few minutes before serving.
- Optional: Pan fry quartered baby potatoes or other veggies in the skillet with an extra 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil before adding the chicken bites back to the skillet and tossing together.
Notes
*You can swap the buffalo seasoning for any of the 7 seasoning blends in my air fryer chicken nuggets recipe. You'll want to 1.5x the seasoning blends to account for the 1 1/2 pound of chicken breast used in this recipe.
Each serving of chicken bites has 1 WW SmartPoint (blue).
