Clean Eating Thai Chicken Bites Recipe

Budget friendly appetizer that comes together in minutes with very simple ingredients. The homemade sweet chili sauce fits all clean eating criteria, which you know is hard to find in a store. It is also super quick to make. My neighbour brought very similar bites to out Christmas party a few weeks back and everybody loved them. I loved how meat was not the main focus of the dish and with all other organic ingredients it was pretty wholesome, which we know is rare for an appetizer dish.

These chicken bites are basically mini pancakes with tiny pieces of chicken inside and drizzled with homemade sweet chili sauce with a bit of a kick. You can adjust the amount of heat to your own taste. My version is almost kid friendly – I served kids separately with half the amount of sauce. You can also use any part of chicken.

Make sure to use non-stick skillet otherwise the bites will stick. Green onions are highly recommended – a nice zesty addition to a sweet chili sauce. Between four of us, we finished all bites for lunch. If you are serving only a few appies, I recommend to double the recipe. Enjoy!
