hotandspicychicken
It's funny. The older I get, the shorter the time it takes me to cook my meals. Perhaps that's why I keep inventing recipes under 30 minutes. This one is a keeper, however. Our delicious 15 minute hot and spicy chicken bites is made with a simple combination of of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. seasoning, hot pepper flakes, and sriracha. I mean life doesn't get any more simple. As I've stated before, there's nothing nicer than coming home and having dinner on the table in a few minutes. The great thing is that it tastes like you've spent an hour slaving over a hot stove. No matter what, your family and friends will certainly appreciate the effort.
