You’ve been invited to another party. While socialization is wonderful, coming up with new ideas for a dish to bring can be difficult. You can surprise everyone with these Topical Chicken Bites. They’re a perfect finger food. And, if you want them as a meal, just serve them with rice and a little pineapple salsa.
Tip: You can substitute ground pork or turkey for the chicken. In this case, you may want to switch up spicing, like using sage in the mix for turkey bites.
