If you like chicken as much as I do, as well as that green food that pops out of Popeye’s can giving him super human cartoon strength—SPINACH—then you’ll definitely enjoy these Mini Spinach Stuffed Chicken Bites.
This simple recipe involves grilling the meat. However, baking the chicken is also fine, especially if you’re crunched for time. Obviously grilling any type of food will yield more flavor, but it’s as much about the green stuff inside as well.
These are super easy to throw together for your next party or function where you can serve them up as either delicious appetizers or the main course as these chicken bites are extremely satisfying.
