These honey garlic chicken bites are deliciously gluten-free and work perfectly as a healthy lunch to take on the go, or a meal prep dinner for busy weeknights. Top with sesame seeds and chopped chives for extra flavour, plus a squeeze of lime for a refreshing tanginess to balance out the sweet and spicy flavours of the honey and garlic. These pair well with cauliflower rice, roasted potatoes, or can be enjoyed on their own.
