How to Make Chicken Bites on the Blackstone Griddle

Step 1 – Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium-high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).

Step 2 – Place the diced chicken in a mixing bowl. Top with flour, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. 

Step 3 – Toss to coat the chicken in the flour and seasoning mixture.  

Step 4 – Spread the avocado oil and 1 Tablespoon Butter onto the Blackstone grill and use a spatula to spread it around.

Step 5 – Place the chicken on the grill on top of the oil and butter and spread it out into a single layer.  

Step 6 – Let the chicken cook for about 3 minutes without moving it so that the check gets browned. 

Step 7 – Toss the chicken and cook on the other side for 2-3 more minutes until browned.  Dice up the remaining butter and place on top of the chicken on the grill and add in the minced garlic.  

Step 8 – Toss to coat the golden brown chicken in the butter and garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.  Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.  Serve topped with the fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!  

Recipe Tips

• Uniform Bites – Aim to cut the chicken breast in about 1 inch pieces for even cooking.
• Heating Blackstone – Oil and heat Blackstone so that one side is set at high heat and the other side is at a lower heat. This will help in case there is a flare-ups.
• Cooking Chicken – We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.  Allow chicken to cook on each side before flipping. This will give the chicken a nice sear.

Flavor Variations

• Buffalo Ranch – For a tangy and spicy flavor, top the cooked chicken bites with ¼ cup or Buffalo sauce and 2 Tbsp melted butter. Then finish with ranch drizzle for amazing taste!
• Teriyaki Sesame – We love the flavor of teriyaki sauce and adding it to these chicken bites is a delicious variation! Swap teriyaki sauce instead of garlic-butter, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and serve.
• Lemon Herb Flavor – Season the chicken bites with ½ tbsp with oregano & thyme then glaze with fresh lemon olive oil mix for a bright, herby flavor.
