Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 0.25 cup Unsalted Chicken Broth
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets, roughly 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, lemon juice, dried oregano, and dried thyme until well combined.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking. Place the chicken nuggets on the grill in a single layer.
Step 6
Grill the chicken nuggets for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.
Step 7
Baste the grilled side with unsalted chicken broth to keep them moist and flavorful. Grill for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken nuggets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium grilled chicken nuggets immediately with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
