Pomegranate Chicken Bites

5 from 1 vote
These pomegranate chicken bites are a great way to use pomegranates in a savory dish. We love them served over a bowl of brown rice but a side of mashed potatoes is great too!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 small)
  • 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 of a yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (the little pieces of fruit)

Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil in a medium to large sized skillet over medium heat.
  2. While oil is warming, cut chicken breast into small bite sized pieces (about 1/2 inch each).
  3. Add chicken pieces into a bowl with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir to evenly coat.
  4. When oil is hot, add chicken to pan. Let chicken pieces cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Don’t move while cooking.
  5. Once golden brown, flip each piece. Add finely diced onion, minced garlic, and pomegranate arils (little fruit pieces) to the pan. Cook 4-5 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Once chicken is cooked, stir and serve with your favorite side, enjoy!

Notes

Using different salt can vary the results. I recommend fine sea salt for this recipe.
