Vegan Chicken Bites
These Vegan Chicken Bites are incredibly juicy and flavorful. It just takes one baking dish and 10 minutes of preparation time to make them.
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 320 g plant-based chicken cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp vegan unsalted butter diced
Seasoning:
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅛ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped basil
- Freshly chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C fan oven.
- Combine all the ingredients from the seasoning in a small bowl.
- Place the chicken in a baking dish and sprinkle with the seasoning. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and stir to coat all sides with the seasoning. Spread the butter cubes across the chicken.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-18 min. After 8 min, stir the chicken with a spoon to bake evenly. In the last 2 minutes of baking, the chicken should be golden brown. Increase the temperature to 200°C fan oven at this moment. This will make the chicken bites extra crispy.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Let it rest for 5 min before serving. Optionally sprinkle the chicken with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the chicken bites with pasta or rice with a good drizzle of the sauce and a slice of lemon.
Notes
- Omit the salt if you don't have unsalted butter at home.
- Use the plant-based chicken of your choice. Just make sure it absorbs liquid very well.
