Perfect Presentation Platters

These Chicken Bites look appetizing in just about anything! Here are some of our favorites:

Baking Dish: This 13 x 9 baking dish is so handy! We’d also recommend this set of 4 in various sizes!

Checkered Serving Boards: I used my Mackenzie-Childs check-chop board for both function and decor, which also comes in large. These are definitely investment pieces, but you can also check out a $30 version from Amazon or this heavy-duty version (also from Amazon!)

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This Recipe in Advance?

Absolutely! You can do steps 1-3 ahead of time and let the chicken marinate for 1-2 days in the refrigerate before you are ready to bake. Once cooked, we recommend serving warm for a delicious meal.

Storing Leftover Baked Chicken Bites

Place any leftovers in a Ziploc Bag or Tupperware container and refrigerate, where they should stay fresh for several days.
