Sometimes all you want is a delicious snack. These baked tortilla chip chicken bites are perfect as an appetiser or a light tummy-filler between meals, or if you have young children who deserve a nice treat for dinner.
You can use any brand of tortilla chips, though the plain or original variety is best to allow the natural flavours of the chicken and spices to come through.
Ingredients
- 115g tortilla chips
- 225g chicken strips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper
- 3 dashes smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Method
- Preheat the oven to 205°C. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
