Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping the chicken. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut them into nugget-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing them until they are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to a medium heat, about 350°F (175°C). You can use a grill pan if you are doing this indoors.
Step 5
Once the grill is preheated, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Grill the chicken nuggets for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the nuggets from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the dairy-free grilled chicken nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
